This is neither PHP nor PCRE bug — the default backtrack limit
(xontrolled by pcre.backtrack_limit configuration directive) used by PHP
is too low for this case.

That is,

$ php
<?php
    $res = preg_match("/^(?:[^\[\]{}']+|'[^']*')+:(?:[^\[\]{}']+|'[^']*')+$/", 
"a:bbbbbbbbbbbbb");
    echo $res, ' ', preg_last_error(), "\n";
?>

0 2

2 is PREG_BACKTRACK_LIMIT_ERROR.
