Why global name context in 13.3 is not empty?

Today I tried 13.3.0 and immediately find that global name context again is not empty, i.e.

Names["Global`" <> "*"]
(*out*) {"res"}

$Version
(*out *) 13.3.0 for Linux x86 (64-bit) (June 3, 2023)

It is not a first time when this happens. See for example, here and links therein.

Since when developing package as a last line I include check if private and global symbols don't overlap

If[Names["Global`" <> "*"] =!= {}, Print["wrong"]]

this becomes a bit irritating. Can anybody confirm this is indeed the case or some catching byproduct?

$\begingroup$ The result on my MMA 13.3.0 Win10-64 is {"dir", "res"}. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ I see {next}. You can always start with Remove["Global`*"] $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ I also get {"res"} in version 13.3 on Windows 11. Looks like one of the devs made a small mistake. $\endgroup$
