re(4) driver bug seems to have not been fixed in head.

Since I last tried, there has been no further update as of about two days ago.

I use subversion built from pkgsrc on a USB-stick installation of NetBSD-current amd64, and then check relevant dates for re(4)-related files.

NetBSD-current source tree and pkgsrc tree are in separate directories on the FreeBSD-current amd64 partition.

Having directories /netbsd-HEAD and /pkgsrc apparently does not bother FreeBSD.
