Environment: Ubuntu 24.04, uutils main branch (git commit 3971bb3), GNU coreutils v9.6.38-2b088-modified
Steps to reproduce:
expr "{1}a" : "\(\{1\}a\)"
What happens now: uutils expr outputs the empty string and terminates with exit status 1.
What I expected to happen: GNU expr outputs {1}a and terminates with exit status 0.
Notes: this is causing a failure in GNU test file tests/expr/expr.pl (in test case bre17).
