Emacs Helm (anything): Desired candidates are excluded for autocompletion. Why?

I have a file in my home directory called .gitconfig. When I try to open this file with Emacs with helm-mode activated, this file is eventually unmatched, as I type it.

In the minibuffer I start typing the path (C-x C-f)

Find file: /home/.g

and it shows me:

.gconf
.gitconfig
.gnome2-private

etc.

However, as soon I type i (i.e. typing /home/.gi to eventually type .gitconfig), Helm removes .gitconfig from the autocompletion list and leaves me with .gnome2-private.

Why does this happen? How can I have Helm never exclude a file from the current directory where I am hoping to open a file?

I cannot reproduce this after recreating the directory structure you specified.

If you clone the helm github repo found here, then execute ./emacs-helm.sh, does it still repro? If not, can you add back your config until it does? This would be a bug.

Also, it would be best to file a helm issue and discuss it there.
