Hmm.. actually, this does look like a flaw in stringreplace, in the
sense that stringreplace currently supports replacing the empty string
with a non-empty string. However, I have not yet thought of a simple
way to reproduce the index error.
But, I did run into another issue, which might be related:
('';'*';'a';'AA') stringreplace 'abc'
*a*b*c
('a';'AA';'';'*') stringreplace 'abc'
AA*b*c
Here, I expected to get the same result from both expressions.
(That said, in my context, I should not have been replacing empty
strings. So that's still on me.)
FYI,
