You'd probably have to look closely at the generated code. Since the all
machine is only a single range there is a lot less testing of the
character that needs to be done. Also, if the range goes right up to a
limit of the alphabet type then ragel doesn't bother to check that end
(assuming your working with -G2). My guess is that the error was just
avoided by luck.
