Welcome to AT&T engineering practices in action: a fix in one thing
breaks a completely unreleated thing, but only in very specific
and inscrutable circumstances.
Commit ffe84ee7 introduced a regression test failure in types.sh:
test types begins at 2021-12-14+23:57:35
types.sh[130]: z.r.s should be z.r.x
test types failed at 2021-12-14+23:57:35 with exit code 1 [ 86 tests 1 error ]
test types(C.UTF-8) begins at 2021-12-14+23:57:35
test types(C.UTF-8) passed at 2021-12-14+23:57:35 [ 86 tests 0 errors ]
test types(shcomp) begins at 2021-12-14+23:57:35
test types(shcomp) passed at 2021-12-14+23:57:35 [ 86 tests 0 errors ]
Only enough, I've *only* found this regression on the GitHub CI
runner. I've tried it on three different regular Linux systems and
it occurs on none of them, nor on macOS.
Another odd thing: it only fails on the first of those three test
runs. But my experiments show it fails very consistently.
Through a process of systematic elimination in a test branch, I've
found that the failure is triggered by the change to using a
separate stack in the regex code. All the other changes are fine.
Using a separate stack improves the robustness of the regex code,
but it apparently exposes some breakage in how the very dodgy
'typeset -T' code is handling the stack, which was being masked by
sharing a stack with it. Or at least that seems like the most
plausible explanation to me right now.
So, until that breakage can be traced and fixed, the regex code now
shares the main stack with everything else again for the time being.

Just to record this: by adding a couple of debug lines:
typeset -p z | sed 's/^/[DEBUG] /'
printf '[DEBUG] %s\n' "${z.r.s}" "${z.r.x}"
the symptom reveals itself more clearly on the GitHub runner:
test types begins at 2021-12-15+17:25:57
[DEBUG] Y_t z=(X_t r=(x=foo;y=bam;s=''))
[DEBUG]
[DEBUG] foo
types.sh[132]: z.r.s should be z.r.x
test types failed at 2021-12-15+17:25:57 with exit code 1 [ 86 tests 1 error ]
test types(C.UTF-8) begins at 2021-12-15+17:25:57
[DEBUG] Y_t z=(X_t r=(x=foo;y=bam;s=foo))
[DEBUG] foo
[DEBUG] foo

test types(shcomp) begins at 2021-12-15+17:25:57
