[BusyBox] bug#1170: sed bounds not attaching to the right atom

Package: busybox
Version: 0.51

sed '/^\(\/\([A-Za-z0-9]\+\)\)\{2\}/p
     d'

seems to attach to either of the atoms preceding it.  For example
/h/h => /h/h
/he => /he
/h =>

  If I put in a $ at the end of the pattern, the first 2 don't match
either.
  GNU sed works as expected on these (i.e. extracts paths with 2 or more
components from the input stream). 
  Both busybox and GNU sed were linked with glibc.
