I'm seeing the same. I went to this regex chat and asked them for a regex, which worked on the regex tester http://regexpal.com/ but not on the bot :-(.
Note that you need to escape several characters to work correctly from the shell. This means that -titleregex:.*[^\w\s-].* should rather be something like -titleregex:".*[^\w\s-].*"
You can test this using echo, to make sure the value passed to pywikipedia is the correct one. valhallasw@dorthonion:~/src/pywikipedia/trunk$ echo ".*[^\w\s-].*" .*[^\w\s-].* valhallasw@dorthonion:~/src/pywikipedia/trunk$ echo .*[^\w\s-].* .*[^ws-].*
Best, Merlijn
