Do you mean unibyte regexps in multibyte buffers?  For example,
currently gnus/message.el has a wrong regexp than prevents the Gnus
from using in some language environments.  To repeat this bug,
you can eval the following:

(progn
 (set-language-environment 'ukrainian)
 (re-search-forward "[\000-\007\013\015-\032\034-\037\200-\237]" nil t))

It fails with the (invalid-regexp "Invalid range end").
Could you suggest how to fix this bug?
