Maybe. There is a repeated zero-width anchor is used in the Python re test suite, which is what made me notice this. I assume that came from some actual use-case. (see: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/096e856a01aa/Lib/test/test_re.py#l599 ) And yeah, even something as crazy as ()* works, but as soon as it becomes (a*)* it doesn't work.
