Note the third command returned nil but the fourth worked, any ideas?

Paul said:Seems like a bug.
It's just {2} that doesn't work.
Katz said:Same for me. I actually had tried what you tried too. Also, {2,2} won't
work either.
Sorry for double posting, post too quick.
Yet another thing is, {1} works:
/(lo){1}x/ =~ 'lololox' # => 4
/(lo){2}x/ =~ 'lololox' # => nil
/(lo){3}x/ =~ 'lololox' # => nil
