Just for information: r39858 introduces the behavior change.
Whether %r{n{3\}}} matches with:

          | "nnn}" | "n{3}}"

Hello,

Ruby 2.0.0 is loosing the backslash when used on "\}" string (exact match). 

How to reproduce in irb:

2.0.0-p0 :003 > %r{\}}
 => /}/ 
2.0.0-p0 :004 > %r{\{}
 => /\{/ 

Compared to:

1.9.3p392 :001 > %r{\{}
 => /\{/ 
1.9.3p392 :002 > %r{\}}
 => /\}/

This shouldn't probably happen.
