Thanks. Maybe someone else on the list will have further insight :)

Indeed (I read your two links with great interest, and these issues were what I
alluded to in mentioning C-u x =). The point about [[:alpha:]] is a good one.
If it's the only issue, maybe we could save an extra release by ensuring that
[:alpha:] includes U+32FF (we don't need to know what U+32FF will look like to
add it to the appropriate regex class).
As I mentioned earlier, this is mostly curiosity :)
