Are you sure that is really the case? Please run

pcretest -C

just to doublecheck.

The second one works. The first is wrong, indeed. It looks like the
first one didn't somehow get the "any". It's worth using /g+ rather than
just /g, to make it show the remainder of the subject so you can see
exactly where it matched.

Thank you for doing this kind of exhaustive testing. It helps towards a
better end product. I will myself do a build with "any" to see if I can
reproduce this behaviour.

'fraid I can't help with that - Windows expert needed.
