Yep. And a bunch of mucking around with it and a quick look at
the code in XML::LibXML::RegExp suggests that the bug is in libxml2.

I'll write some C code later to test and see about submitting the bug
to them, but for now since I have control of the XSD and the error is
being thrown on my end, I'll change it to <pattern value=".*"/>

Thanks!
