This might have been reported before (Is there an archive of known gnu
emacs bugs):

When string-match matches an empty substring, (match-end 0) will report 1,
while it should report 0.

E.g: (string-match "x*" "abc") gives (match-end 0) => 1
     (string-match "x*" "xyz") also gives (match-end 0) => 1.

Probably the normal regexp match will also do this, but I haven't checked it.
