The Nikolaevskiy model for pattern formation with continuous symmetry exhibits spatiotemporal chaos with strong scale separation. Extensive numerical investigations of the chaotic attractor reveal unexpected scaling behavior of the long-wave modes. Surprisingly, the computed amplitude and correlation time scalings are found to differ from the values obtained by asymptotically consistent multiple-scale analysis. However, when higher-order corrections are added to the leading-order theory of Matthews and Cox, the anomalous scaling is recovered.
