I stumbled upon this error once as well. As it turns out, some versions of php - most notably the stock centos php package - are compiled without the -enable-unicode-properties. Since the alphaNumeric rule uses preg_match with the /u you get this error. You have two options, either recompile php and its dependencies from source, or write your own regex without the u switch.
