When a quantified capture group matched zero times but the overall regex 
matches, then the List returned from `$/.list` stops iterating before the 
corresponding element:

    "ac" ~~ / (a) (b)? (c) /;
    say ($0, $1, $2);         # (「a」 Nil 「c」)
    say $/.list;              # (「a」)
    say $/.list.map({1});     # (1)
    say $/.list.elems;        # 3
    say $/.list[0, 1, 2, 3];  # (「a」 (Mu) 「c」 Nil

Expected behavior would be for `$/.list;` to return `(「a」 Nil 「c」)`.

mst++ suggested that maybe an InterationEnd is ending up where it shouldn't be.
