 I believe the bug probably is the same one reported/fixed here:

Thanks Tom.  I will get into contact with the submitter and make sure
he's not having problems with 7.3.3.

The bug reporter is in error to be claiming he is running 7.3.3, because
the assert() in question is at line 334 not 331 in 7.3.3.  He may have
7.3.3 client libraries, but he must be talking to a server version

* src/backend/regex/regcomp.c (REL7_3_STABLE): Fix char-vs-pg_wchar
confusion in p_ere(), per failure report from Tom O'Dowd.  This fix
is not relevant to CVS tip anymore, but we should fix it in 7.3.*.

which would mean that it is indeed fixed in 7.3.3.  I suppose the reason
Oliver never forwarded this report is he couldn't duplicate it...

This is curious because the version numbers are automatically generated
by reportbug and he gives no hint that he is talking to a different
machine.

However I verified that the assertion is at line 334 in the source code
that the package was compiled from.

It's more because I was away at the time fetching my mother-in-law from
Israel, so this bug never got dealt with at all :-(  But I do have
problems with these character set bugs, since it took a long time to
find a way to see these characters correctly.

I can confirm it does not happen in 7.4beta4
