both pass when I think they should fail.

I forgot the question mark at the end...
\{?[a-fA-F\d]{1,8}-(?:[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}-){3}[a-fA-F\d]{1,12}\}?

Here is a suggestion to improve the detection:
\{?[a-fA-F\d]{1,8}-(?:[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}-){3}[a-fA-F\d]{1,12}\}
(tested with .Net RegExp implementation)
This one find the guid even if not all the zeros are specified.
Plus, it matches only the GUID as a whole and no parts of it.

What can I say -- this was exactly what I googled for, and this tidbit delivered. Time until problem patched: 7 minutes est instead of half-hour est.
