Another strong candidate for backporting to 5.18.1 or later;
the fix was simple and looks fairly risk-free:

Handle /[#]/ and /[(?#]/ with code blocks
This is a regression in 5.18.0.
In something like /[#](?{})/x, the perl toker incorrectly sees the '#' as a
comment and skips the code block without parsing it.
