That is fine - g_autoptr calls the required deallocation function
that was previously registered. This is different from g_autofree
which merely calls g_free.

We can see GMatchInfo is configured to call g_match_info_free:

$ grep GMatchIn /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/*.h
/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/glib-autocleanups.h:G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC(GMatchInfo, g_match_info_unref)
