Huh.  First of all, that pattern looks fishy to me.  (Technically it’s
okay, and Gash should handle it, but it’s very odd to have the bare
opening bracket at the end like that.)  Because of that, I wonder if the
problem occurs earlier.  Looking at gnulib, the "[]" at the end is
substituted in....  Either way, I will take a look and make it work.

Thanks for the report.
