when i run it in context i get:

[A]
[B]
[C]
[D]
[E]
[F][1 = elem  2 = sep  3 = elem  4 = sep  ]
00: call -> 2
01: jmp -> 51
02: opencapture table(n = 0) (0)
03: call -> 10
04: choice -> 8 (0)
05: call -> 41
06: call -> 10
07: partial_commit -> 5
08: closecapture close(n = 0) (0)
09: ret
10: span [(09-0a)(20)]
19: opencapture simple(n = 0) (0)
20: choice -> 23 (0)
21: call -> 41
22: failtwice
23: any * 1
24: choice -> 30 (0)
25: choice -> 28 (0)
26: call -> 41
27: failtwice
28: any * 1
29: partial_commit -> 25
30: closecapture close(n = 0) (0)
31: span [(09-0a)(20)]
40: ret
41: set [(2c)(7b)(7d)]
50: ret
51: end

so it looks like you have to track down what your format is doing
