Speaking of which, can we see about deprecating and removing this GUC?
I've yet to hear of anyone using a flavor other than the default.
You have now. I have a client who sadly uses a non-default setting. And
on 8.4, what is more.
How critical is it to them? It would be nice to get rid of that source
of variability.
It would be possible to keep using old-style regexes even without the
GUC, if they can interpose anything that can stick an "embedded options"
prefix on the pattern strings. See 9.7.3.4:

They are probably quite open to changing it, but IIRC it is a setting
imposed by OpenACS, which is what they are based on.
