[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]

Still quite expected. Your regexp is:
"\n*?\\\\begin{\\(?1:lisp\\)\\|\\(?1:idea\\)\\|\\(?1:common\\)}"
i.e.
"\n*?\\\\begin{\\(?1:lisp\\)" or "\\(?1:idea\\)" or "\\(?1:common\\)}"
Clearly, the "lisp" alternative doesn't match a closing }

[Message part 3 (message/rfc822, inline)]
Please execute the following forms with C-x C-e. Form 1
and Form 3 return `t' (Yes, we are looking at the
indicated regular expression), whereas Form 2 returns
`nil' (even though from the Elisp reference page "34.3.1.3
Backslash Constructs in Regular Expressions", it appears
that this form ought to return `t' like the others).
For comparison's sake, Form 4 and Form 5 show different
inconsistent behavior when using `search-forward-regexp'.
Form 4 only finds part of the match, whereas Form 5 finds
the full match.
Form #1.
(let ((possible-environments
"\\(1?:lisp\\|idea\\|common\\)"))
(looking-at
(concat "\n*?\\\\begin{"
possible-environments
"}")))

Form #2.

Form #3.
(let ((possible-environments

(looking-at

Form #4.
(let ((possible-environments

Form #5.
(let ((possible-environments

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
