Public bug reported:

There appears to be a slight discrepancy in the documentation for these
(and others that deal with capture groups). For ^(\d+)h, the (\d+) is
documented to be matches[1], but it is not, it is matches[2]. matches[1]
is the entire line, I believe. This filters down to all the different
capture groups - even with the multimatches, the first group in the
first regex pattern is not multimatches[1][2], it is multimatches[2][2].
Basically, you need to add 1 to the value expected by the documentation.
