What is the difference between these two commands?

set quote_regexp="^[ \t]*[A-Z]{,3}[~|>:}#%]"
set quote_regexp="^[ \t]*[A-Z]{0,3}[~|>:}#%]"

According to what I read in the manual, they should be equivalent, the
first being preferred. But, the first command does not give the expected
output. Is it my understanding that is flawed in this?

Section 4.1 (Excerpt)
{,m}   The preceding item is matched at most m times. 
{n,m}  The preceding item is matched at least n times, but no more than m
       times.
