RFC 5483, section 2.4 talks about this (and gives an example plus a
citation of an "errant" RFC) - although related to regular expressions in
NAPTR Resource Record RDATA fields, not to the domain name.  This does
mention the impact on on-the-wire DNS representations.

In the example, the presence of a '+' is the issue in the NAPTR-held
regular expression. But the same would be true if it were inside a domain
name.
