Beet list path not returning all files

[BezPowell]

Running beet list with a path query sometimes returns zero results, or only a subset of tracks present under that directory.

Problem

Listing tracks in the ~/Music/AC_DC/ directory:

$ beet -vv list -p path:~/Music/AC_DC/

Returned this output:

Similarly, trying an artist with a space in their directory name returns no results:

$ beet -vv list -p path:~/Music/Eternal\ Champion/

Whereas, searching via the artist name returns all of their tracks in my library:

$ beet -vv list -p Eternal Champion
