Good catch Greg!

Just for reference, here are two tests to confirm that
you're right:

perl -e '"abc" =~ /^((a)|b)*/; print "$1 $2\n";'
echo "abc" | sed -r -e "s/^((a)|b)*/\1 \2|/"

The only change I made was to port your tests to test_re.py.

Applied as:

Modules/_sre.c: 2.94
Lib/test/test_re.py: 1.40

Thanks!
