Rename problem – Error in search pattern: Nested *?+ supplied

I don't quite get why this rename operation won't work. Looks fine in the preview list, but can't apply it:

Error in search pattern: Nested *?+ supplied.

I'm guessing it's because you have the mode set to Regular Expressions and a regex can't begin with a * (because * refers to the thing before it and there isn't one).
