After talking with Colin about this on IRC, I now get this point.

The thing is, the dependency on pcre was added to make regex
functionality available for win32. On all other platforms the posix
regex.h is available and that one is used. (even if pcre is available,
if I'm correct)

So there is no inconsistent behaviour here, other than a difference
between Linux and Windows, where a regex difference is trivial
compared to other differences.
