my old regex stopped working in v7.4

Let's say I want to match the last word ('xxx') in a string like this:

'aaaaa bbb cccc ... xxx'

This regex used to work in v7.3:

.*\zs\<.*

In v7.4, that regex now matches the whole string. That seems to violate the longest-match semantics. In fact, the result is the same, even if I replace the second '*' by '\{,}'.

And if I replace '\<' with '\s', then I do get just the last word (with the preceding space, of course). So I would say the implementation for '\<' is buggy.
