That's great news! With the '!' flag, the much-missed '\b' (word
boundary) works. Using it seems safe, at least compared to groups or
lookaheads. If you don't discontinue the '!' flag, it will be as stable
as Java regexes.

If you're completely stuck, there's an undocumented, largely untested, and
completely non-conformant option in Saxon - if the flags attribute starts
with "!", you can use full Java regular expression syntax in the regex
attribute. This may not work perfectly, for example it may disrupt the
counting of captured groups in regex-group().

I thought that was what you were going to say (and I should
have just looked at the spec before posting, mea culpa). I
can't think of any other way to do this with the
analyze-string recursive replacing with xsl:sequence...and
I'm loathe to change that much since it is working fine! I
suppose one answer is to transform the input so it has
better/more/different delimiters of some sort, but I'll have
to think that through.
Ah well,
