I bet the CMake code that implements this has some unwarranted
assumptions about what kind of regex is going to be passed.  I bet the
.* is matching against some list of files, and therefore matching any
*list* that terminates with the pattern.  Or it's just written wrong
in some other way.  Anyways it's a bug.  Write a trivial reproducer
and file it.
