Yep, this is the case, it includes pre-compiled regular expressions and these appear to be incompatible between versions of pcre.

We've come up with a better solution, which is to add dependencies to the apertium package, and then make the apertium package depend on a particular version of pcre3. It's safer this way, as I can't find out anything about compatibility of precompiled regular expressions in pcre between versions, so better to assume they aren't.
