A minimal example you mean; thank you for pointing me in this way.
Well, after some playing it seems the minimal example is:
:set statusline=%(%#ErrorMsg#xxx%*%)abcde
that is, grouping is used to remove some text colored with %#ErrorMsg#.
If the code between %#ErrorMsg# and %* is evaluated to something else
than empty string ('xxx' in our example), it is properly removed, but
the following text contains strlen('xxx') colored positions. That
means, 'abc' gets colored.

Hope that's its more clear now,
