You are right.

I was mistaken. The same search hits are found in 22 (and before)
as now. Somehow I thought I was seeing something different when
I tried 22 and 20 earlier today.

Yes, this is the same. I will close this bug.
Funny that I never noticed this before. I guess that in practice
it doesn't bite that often. It is multiple matches in the same
line that makes this really stand out as weird behavior.
