Should I report the following as a bug?

# encoding: utf-8
"cat".encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
"������".encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
/cat/.encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
:������.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>

I was expecting the regular expression to be encoded the same way a  
string is.
