The regex you're changing is actually the one for parsing

Subject:
Requestors:

from the REST submission.  The code for handling
CF.{Foo} comes from the custom_field_spec and is much more liberal
already.  I expect some other problem, but you didn't show a REST
trace.

On 4.2.0 I can run
./bin/rt ls "'CF.{F~G/Bar}' = 1"
and see over the wire
CF.{F~G/Bar}: 1
and that gets parsed properly and returns values.

Your report did uncover another interesting thing, but not the bug as
reported/fixed by your change.
