dired-do-rename-regexp does its job, but seems to work backwards through
the list of marked files, and doesn't put the cursor upon the item it is
working on as best it could.
E.g., $ touch aa1 aa2 aa3, mark them (m m m), then run
(dired-do-rename-regexp "aa" "bb" nil nil)
emacs-version "23.0.96.1"

I'm unable to reproduce this in Emacs 24 -- the files are renamed in the
order they were marked, so this was probably fixed.
