The problem remains present. All the following commands will give the same 
error output:
$ aptitude search ?name\(apt\)
$ aptitude search '?name(apt)'
$ aptitude search "?name(apt)"

and the error output is, as expected:
E: Regex compilation error: Invalid preceding regular expression

This works fine:
$ aptitude search ~napt
