I agree with you; I think it's a bug. But I think it's the one at "4
to 4" that's the bug.
$ perl -le 'for(qw( ab aXb aYb )){ print "$_";print "\tone word is
\"$1\" at $-[0] to $+[0]" while /(X*)/g;}'
ab
one word is "" at 0 to 0
one word is "" at 1 to 1
one word is "" at 2 to 2
aXb
one word is "" at 0 to 0
one word is "X" at 1 to 2
one word is "" at 2 to 2
one word is "" at 3 to 3
aYb
one word is "" at 0 to 0
one word is "" at 1 to 1
one word is "" at 2 to 2
one word is "" at 3 to 3

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
