Sure looks like an error message to me ...

... these patterns are applied to tag values to prevent
odd shell characters from ending up in tag values.

E.g.
        Name: whatever;rm -rf /

(that specif string won't work, but it ain't hard to
figger a string without white soace that WIL do that)

So you now have two problems related to pattern matching.

YOu are using PCRE?

You have the patches necessary to permit using regcomp
emulation with PCRE applied? See rpm-devel archives when
PCRE was added, late January 2009.
