But that's arguably a DWIMmy thing, since {} is in the category of * +
and ?, which always need to be *after* something, and there's no
*something* here.  I don't know how much stuff this would break, but I
know I always backwhack my {'s regardless of where they are located in
the regex, not counting on the DWIM to do it right.
