Thanks. This is a bug in the glibc regular expression matcher. It's part of a well known series of bugs. See, for example:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12896
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17356

It's not of much practical concern since the attacker should not have control of B in invocations like 'expr "$A" : "$B"'.
