I have done some very hand-on testing. It is not a "syntax" error. There now seems to be a much smaller limit to the number of characters/spaces that is allowed in a pattern. When I try to use any pattern that contains exactly 12,219 or fewer characters/spaces, it works fine. However, when I add a 1 more character, I get the "syntax error." So, according to the character count indicated in a BBEdit document containing my pattern, the limit is precisely 12,219 characters (including blank spaces).
It seems rather coincidental that the error code is "12170." That's pretty close to 12,219 and 12,220. I really, really hope that this stricter character limit is a bug; if not, all of my most important and painstakingly-constructed patterns will be rendered useless.
