Comment:

 Since the issue appears to be specific to `regex-posix`, I'm going to
 close this.

 Moreover, as ezyang notes in https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4336,
 the `regex-tdfa` library serves as a drop-in replacement for `regex-posix`
 which //does// pass both of those tests on 64-bit Windows. (I've also
 verified that `regex-pcre` works as well.)
