>From the docs:

"""If capturing parentheses are used in pattern, then the text of all groups in 
the pattern are also returned as part of the resulting list."""

The pattern does contain a capture, so that's why the result has additional '1' 
and '2'.

Presumably, Java's split doesn't do that.

Not a bug.
