The issue definitely started the n 4.2. And is documented to work this way (broken by my description). When changing my configs to follow the documentation (using single quotes or escaping the back slash) it all works correctly.

The end result is that everything is working as documented. This is not a bug.

Thanks for the input.

Pcre2 migration happened in 4.3.0 and not in 4.2.0, are you sure that's where the change happened?

libpcre2 was introduced at version 4.0 (was it?) and this issue did not
exist in version 4.1.1 and only started in 4.2.0.
