Actually, that would be "<anything before>de<anything after>".  It is just
like grep where last character may also be ignored :)

That's fine because that's what you asked for.  See following examples:

nsradmin> show name
nsradmin> print type: NSR pool; name: Def*
                        name: Default;

                        name: Indexed Archive Clone;

                        name: Default Clone;

                        name: Indexed Archive;

nsradmin> print type: NSR pool; name: ^Def*
                        name: Default;

                        name: Default Clone;

nsradmin> print type: NSR pool; name: Def.*
                        name: Default;

                        name: Default Clone;
nsradmin>

First one is yours, while following two are mine approach.  What people seem
to forget or do not know is that * in regular expression is not as what is *
in shell where it is matching pattern.  This explains your results.  Or to
quote "The asterisk is a modifier. In a regular expression it specifies that
the previous character set can appear any number of times, including zero".
In your case Def* matches "de<anything after>".
