With the sample test case I have available for the issue, it seems to indeed.  
Thanks!

Unpatched:

    (let ((master "/home/kupfer/src/lib.local/SCCS/s.build-intel"))
      (string-match "\\(.*/\\)\\(s\\.\\)\\(.*\\)" master)
      (replace-match "p." t t master 2))
    "p."

Patched:

    (let ((master "/home/kupfer/src/lib.local/SCCS/s.build-intel"))
      (string-match "\\(.*/\\)\\(s\\.\\)\\(.*\\)" master)
      (replace-match "p." t t master 2))
    "/home/kupfer/src/lib.local/SCCS/p.build-intel"

Yep, and probably also some time after that - I'm not quite sure what the 
policy about how old versions of XEmacs should stuff in the packages tree 
support is, but I personally think not only the latest in the 21.4 branch, 
but also at least a few minor 21.4.x releases before it.
