Hi Jens,

can you elaborate a bit. According to the definition of Verbatim , 

Verbatim[Condition][_, _]] should match literally "Condition][_, _]" and 

not Condition[a, b]. Therefore it looks more like  another bug to me and 

adds to the mystery of why MatchQ[Condition[a, b], Condition[_, _]] 

evaluates to False.
