Why I'm not sure, but figured out two solutions:

You set a number a limit to the replacement


$ php -r "echo preg_replace('#(.*)#', 'start-\1-end', 'center', 1) . 
PHP_EOL;"

or you can tell that it's from the beginning of the row

$ php -r "echo preg_replace('#^(.*)#', 'start-\1-end', 'center') . PHP_EOL;

I would guess this has to do with the end of char array \0 (internally) 
and it's counted as a white space, so it's not included in the first 
match, but then as the second match, but that is just a wild guess.
