Comment:

 The problem is that it uses irregex-fold which walks the string; it starts
 at the given starting point, matches and then starts again with the new
 starting point in the string being the place where the previous match
 ended.

 The problem is basically that the beginning of string should only match
 when the substring starts at wherever you initially started to match.  I'm
 not sure if/how this can be solved easily.
