FWIW that looks pretty weird to me, like the escapes in the charclass were interpolated before being fed to the regex engine. Are you sure you tested the right thing?
Quite sure. `git diff --word-diff` fails. This was just a smaller example based on the linked C code. Here's the output of `git diff --word-diff` (verbatim and dumped):
fatal : invalid regular expression: \|([^\\]*)\||([^][)(}{[
])+|[^[:space:]]|[¿-ˇ][Ä-ø]+
