'formatlistpat' 'flp'    string (default: "^\s*\d\+[\]:.)}\t ]\s*")

to get this:
^\s*\(\d\|\a\)\+\.\s*

must do this:
^\\s*\\(\\d\\\|\\a\\)\\+\\.\\s*

Why?

Because that's the way escaping works for the :set command.

Is there a way to enter the string without escaping the "\" ?

:let &flp='^\s*\(\d\|\a\)\+\.\s*'

Makes use of single-quoted string and options in expressions.

:help literal-string
:help expr-option
