Right, because you do not need to run 'postmap' on regex or pcre maps. The text
format ios what Postfix uses for those types.

Thank you Bill!  Knowing that now, I see where postmap(1) states:

is getting at this, but it is far from clear that it is because
those do not need to be pre-processed by postmap.

Also, the error if you 'postmap regexp:filename' is not useful:

postmap: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: regexp. Is the postfix-regexp 
package installed?

given I know I have regexp installed.

regexp and postfix-regexp are two different things.
some SW distributions separate some map types to extra packages.
you also may not have postfix compiled with regexp map type, try running:
postconf -m
