Heh, well spotted!
As you may have already noticed, I copy/pasted the code from the comment
further down in this function, but didn't take enough care in doing so...
Oops! ;-)

The obvious solution, also suggested later by Sebastion, is to simply
remove the second regex from the test since it does not alter the
outcome (and still fixes the problem)...
