Comment:

 This has been resolved as bogus, in my opinion.
 It turned out the php5-pcre port on FreeBSD had some library compatibility
 problems (whatsoever), which would turn up in rare circumstances when
 using pcre with utf-8 strings, escpecially with lookbehind or readahead
 assertions.
 My workaround was to use nl2br for that part in the pee-function that uses
 lookbehind for inserting <br />s. But after all, recompiling a newer fixed
 port version of php5-pcre made the problems go away.
