Show us the entire script. That behavior would only occur if the argument to ls is quoted or if pathname expansion is disabled (very unlikely).

It has nothing to do with ^. It has to do with *, which means to allow zero or more matches of the preceding character (in this case, any digit, [[:digit:]]). It's the zero part that's important. If the second character is not a digit, that's equivalent to zero digits. If there is no second character at all, that's also equivalent to zero digits (which is why your pattern matches a filename of just 1 character).
