The offending bit was this:

(seq (group-n 1 (+ digit) "="))     ; Object label.

Which is something that should never appear in Lisp files anyway.  The
rest seem unproblematic (except possible performance problems), but
after testing it for a few minutes, I don't really see anything
noticeable.

So I'm pushing Noam's patch to Emacs 29 (with that object label thing
removed).
