I don't know what to tell you; we use regexp with () for grouping 
locally, and it works fine; FreeRADIUS can start, and the regexp match 
as expected.

FreeRADIUS doesn't handle the regexp itself; it uses your system regexp 
library. If the regexp fails to parse, it must be a problem with your 
system regexp library.

Just in case, please supply the output of "radiusd -X" as it fails to 
start up. Maybe there's something else wrong.
