I was surprised when I first ran into this too, but it is documented:

  When a single sub-expression occurs in a ``zero or more'' pattern
  (``*'') or a ``one or more'' pattern (``+'') and is used multiple
  times in a match, then the rightmost match associated with the
  sub-expression is returned in the list.

Seems like it would be more useful to return a list of all the
sub-expression matches, but maybe that breaks some guarantee about
space consumption?
