That is most certainly due to a too old and buggy version of dejagnu in
that machine.

This is what git dejagnu uses instead (lib/dg.exp):

  if { ![regexp -- $texttmp $output] } {

Note the --.

Same for the another error.

Maybe you want to patch the dg.exp in your machine, to avoid this
happening while running dejagnu-based testsuites in the future.
