coreutils-6.8 - error in expr |

Greetings,
I believe I found a bug (or at least a change) in the behavior of expr
in coreutils-6.8.
Formerly this command:
expr 20x11-common_process-args : '[[:alnum:]_-]\+$'
returned the value 25. As of coreutils-6.8, that command returns an
error:
/opt/bin/expr-broken 20x11-common_process-args : '[[:alnum:]_-]\+$'
/opt/bin/expr-broken: Unmatched [ or [^
In case you're interested, I detected this defect in the
/etc/X11/Xsession script, where `expr' is used to determine what
scripts to source.
Regards,
Vin Shelton
