Yes, I think this was fixed in v1.7.9.4 if not earlier, with e65ceb6
(gitweb: Fix fixed string (non-regexp) project search, 2012-03-02).

Gitweb is feeding your input as a perl regex, which is not really clean
but shouldn't really harm either.

I could reproduce with an old gitweb version, but newer gitwebs seem to
be more clever about regular expression (there's an explicit tickbox to
search for re, and the error message is clean when what you provide
isn't a valid regexp).
