Well, if it is judged a bug (and it seems to me that it is), then it can get fixed in 2.7 and 3.2 (and yes I did confirm that the same bug is present in 2.7).

It appears to be the result of startswith/endswith applying naive parsing to their arguments rather than the more sophisticated stringlib calls used by find and index.
