Multiple matches for each value should do the right thing.  So should a
single match with the values separated by newlines, but that I'm less
sure of and didn't verify in the code.

Look at the first error message you get.  It's telling you that the
value it tried to add is "X-VIPS:192.168.155.130"  The "X-VIPS:" part of
that is not a valid IP address.  The second value succeeds because it's
a bare IP address.  Looks like you need to fix your regex.
