I get a strange behavior from instance_eval when reporting warnings on
regular expressions, both in 1.9.3p448 and 2.0.0p353.
The file "test.rb" contains:
$-w = 2
file = 'foo.rb'
code = <<-RUBY
x = /]]/
y = /[a-z]+*/
RUBY
instance_eval code, file
When run, I get:
foo.rb:1: warning: regular expression has ']' without escape: /]]/
test.rb:7: warning: nested repeat operator + and * was replaced with
'*': /[a-z]+*/
The second warning not reported as "foo.rb:2": am I missing something,
or should I report a bug?

I don't believe it's a bug in instance_eval, I get similar output just
running in irb.
irb(main):019:0> x = /]]/
(irb):19: warning: regular expression has ']' without escape: /]]/

irb(main):020:0> y = /[a-z]+*/

I think Hansem is finding strange not the warning per si but the file
and line number indication.
Why the first warning is on foo.rb:1 and the second warning is on test.rb:7 ?
Can you confirm this Thierry Hansem?

Yes, the problem lies in the origin of the message, i.e. in the
backtrace. I suspect it's a problem that has already been seen, as the
ruby ChangeLog contains:

Heheh Sorry Thierry LAMBERT!!!
I was fast to answer and mixed the names. Sorry.
