How is this not expected behavior?  The JavaScript string literal ‘^\d+’ is
treated same as ‘^d+’ since \d is not a recognized escape sequence.  This
happens long before regular expressions enter the picture.  If you want the \d
to be treated as the regular expression meta-character you need to to escape
the backslash so that the string contains the characters \ and d in sequence,
e.g, ‘^\\d+’.
