Unsure if it's the same issue, but on 1.15.0, I'm getting breakage with this code:

# Regex in many common languages:
  /\\\/\\\\\//;

# Same version in Perl 6:
  # Standard quotes; no need to escape the '/'
  / '\\/\\\\/' /;

  # Or use U+FF62, U+FF63 quoters and avoid quoting the '\' as well:
  / ｢\/\\/｣ /;

Got this recently. Has to be a way to fix it, but will require finding which regex candidate is the problematic one.
