With 5.8.1 for example
$ ~/Sandpit/581/bin/perl -e 'die qr{x}'
(?-xism:x)$
contrast with 5.8.0
$ ~/Sandpit/580/bin/perl -e 'die qr{x}'
(?-xism:x) at -e line 1.
$
so this certainly isn't *resolved*, which was its status in RT.
(It might, however, effectively be rejected)
The fix for this bug was reversed in commit bf12611a95159ce0, due
to bug #17763.
See this comment from Hugo in

: I'm not sure how we can improve on this. The best suggestion I can come

: via magic, and let util.c:vdie() extract it; but that wouldn't cater for
: those that want the upgraded string for other purposes, such as for
syslog().
It's not clear how to resolve both #17763 and #4821 at the same time.
