I checked a couple of vue-router issues in the past, and I noticed posva has his own particular way of assessing bugs, so I know he will say this is not a bug. But is there anyone in vue-router team willing to acknowledge this is a bug? (cc @yyx990803, @kazupon)

I used the latest vue-router available on npm (3.1.5). My current issue report says I used 3.1.3 because new-issue.vuejs.org does not let me choose 3.1.5. Guys, if you force me using new-issue.vuejs.org when reporting an issue, it would be nice to keep it up-to-date.

The workaround for this is using a named param with a custom regexp, which will be the preferred way in the next major version:

{
      name: "catchAllRoute",
      path: "/anything/:pathMatch(.*)"
    }
