With "eq" it works as it should.
Well, in principle, '==' ought to work as it should, too. It's still odd behaviour, I would agree.
However, 'ne' and 'eq' are the operators explicitly designed for string comparisons. '==' and '!=' attempt to make appropriate type inferences based on the types of the operands, and as one can see, not necessarily consistently or correctly.
