Comment:

 This looks like a problem with the JRegex package rather than a GHC bug to
 me.  JRegex apparently depends on the pcre library, so its package
 description should have pcre in extra-libraries.  Passing -lpcre on the
 command line may hide the problem for batch compilation, but GHCi and
 template haskell expose the error.

 In fact, the darcs repository of JRegex does indeed have the right
 dependency, so just update JRegex.
