Perl still tries to compile regexes even if there are parse errors

I was astonished to find that we try to compile patterns even if parse 
errors have been found.  This can lead to misleading error messages, and 
apparently judging from the test suite, segfaults in the past (and maybe 
currently.

It seems prudent to me to skip compiling patterns when parse errors have 
already been found.  Am I missing something?
