From time to time when sa-update is running, I get errors in the output.

Like today I got:
Illegal octal digit '8' ignored at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/BodyRuleBaseExtractor.pm line 1083, <$fh> line 1097.
re2c: error: line 170, column 2: unterminated string constant (missing ")
command 're2c -i -b -o scanner2.c scanner2.re' failed: exit 1

What is the reason for it, are some rules poorly written, or do I miss some library or what could be the problem?

Historically this has generally happened primarily with automatically-generated rulesets like the Sought rulesets. It tends to correct itself as those rulesets get regenerated.
