Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks for the report, Sven.

Your diagnosis is sound.

Yes, the problem is that POSIX specifies _expr_(1) as accepting only BREs
("basic" regular expressions) in the patter operand of the ":" operator.

I used ERE ("extended" regular expression) syntax in that commit.

I also apologize for the botched commit message.  I later added a ChangeLog
entry for it.

Unfortunately, the `\{1,\}` solution you propose is *also* not a POSIX BRE.

I've have to respell the pattern using a doubled atom and the * quantifier.

Also, 10 digits of Git hash ought to be enough for anybody.  :-P
