It appears that the original regex took
\.
as a single dot (any character) rather than a literal dot.I assume it's because single backslashes are dropped in emacs strings if the character following needs no escape as part of a string. However that's desired in the regex.
See

In my case, it matched a
./beorg
subdir causing a further error during the export process --not a regular file
