Ok, I tried emacs -Q as well, but still I get the same list of files.

Nope.

Ah, yes, that's it. I use GNU slocate version 3.1. The option -r has to
be followed by the regexp to search, so
locate -r -i foobarbaz
will look for the regexp -i instead of foobarbaz. So the solution is to
reverse -r and -i:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defvar anything-source-locate
'((name . "Locate")
(candidates . (lambda ()
(start-process "locate-process" nil
"locate" "-i" "-r"
anything-pattern)))
(type . file)
(requires-pattern . 3))
"Source for retrieving files matching the current input pattern
with locate.")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Bye,
Tassilo
