"dnf list acpi*-1*" performs as expected.  It's a constraint on globbing most won't expect however.  

likewise "dnf remove kernel*-4.0.0*" provides what I need.

See bug 1083679#c8 and the original report there.  With a documentation actively misleading it is not a very big surprise that "most won't expect" as what is passing for globbing here is nothing of that sort.  Actually I found pattern matching as used by dnf quite unpredictable and requiring too many lucky guesses. NOTABUG obstinate claims fall flat.

I think this ended up NOTABUG due to my error.  Your bug is WONTFIX.  When I have a chance I'll look into pattern matching, but clearly the documentation is ERRATA
