Does multibyte character interfere with end-line character within a regex?

Question

With this regex:

regex1 = /\\z/

the following strings match:

\"hello\" =~ regex1 # => 5
\"こんにちは\" =~ regex1 # => 5

In Ruby trunk, the issue has now been accepted as a bug. Hopefully, it will be fixed.

Update: Two patches have been posted in Ruby trunk.
