Writing a test program shows me that it seems to be the other way around, which is less surprising. More careful testing with find shows a result consistent with this, too. It appears that the reason for my earlier, mistaken impression was a combination of the overhead of base_name() and the difference in anchoring behaviour between "find -regex" and "find -name". Apologies for any wasted time, James.
