Another workaround is to put \( \) around it so that the regexp isn't
complete until the closing paren.

Here we see yet another instance why the newsgroup interface should not
be used for bug reports. None of the context is visible in

http://debbugs.gnu.org/12722

I'm not tidying it up.

Also, things should not be triple posted to gnu.emacs.help, comp.emacs,
and gnu.emacs.bug. From the help-gnu-emacs list description:
  "Please don't send bug reports here, or to the comp.emacs newsgroup;"
