The bugs you identify above are all enhancement requests, so they are not representative of actual bugs with the engine - in fact the only other two bugs I could find were related to docs and not PCRE support at all. So AFAICT we have a full and complete PCRE implementation here, with no 'real' bugs associated with it.
