OK, my bad, I didn't know that. You're right that "..1" is mistreated here, it
should be compiled as "one or more repetitions" but instead gets compiled as a
pattern variable. That's a bug, indeed — I believe the expected behavior is that
"..1" behaves like "...", namely being allowed in the middle of a list.
