Which is expected behaviour. ? by itself is not a special regex char,

I suppose you have the use_regexp_matching enabled?

I know the docs state otherwise, but I know for a fact that the regex
matching is fairly new and replaced wildcard substitution not very long

is beta after all, and people who want regex matching usually knows how
to write regexes).
