This is from the list of new features in bash-3.2:
f. Quoting the string argument to the [[ command's =~ operator now forces
string matching, as with the other pattern-matching operators.
The change was made for consistency -- without it, there is no way to have
the string matched without regard to characters significant to the matcher.
