Thanks, fixed in a slightly different way in podlators 1.09. After
staring at those regexes for a while, I realized that the one to do small
caps was making some bad assumptions.
Man, that stuff is ugly. At least some of the ugliness is because of
where we're trying to do guesswork; it would definitely be cleaner if some
higher-level module could turn the appropriate things into interior
sequences.
