Hello,
  I don't think the following description was accurate:

Observe:
        $ echo aa | grep -E '^a|b$'
        aa

Most of these typos were already present in 2.59.

I think the ChangeLog entry should be rephrased, what about:

        * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list, au_exclude_list): Do not
        use /^foo|bar$/, it does not mean /^(foo|bar)$/.

Have a nice day,
