Yes, that one is known already. The fix is simple --- remove the 2nd * to get:
/\\item[\s\r]*((\[(([^\[\]]|\[[^]]*\])*)\])?|[^a-zA-Z\s])/

It seems that not all versions of Perl regard this as an error.
The latest developer archive has it fixed; you must have got beta4 ,
which may still have it wrong.
Thanks to Andreas Otte for first alerting me to this problem.
Hope this helps,
