Philip has already answered the question, but I'd like to supply an answer
from a different perspective:
I understand the explanation, but my main question about this is,
isn't it just a bit too cheesy? I'd call it a bug, even if it can be
explained.

(If one actually wanted to match a literal newline, how would that be
accomplished?)
