"Basically at a certain patch level of 1.9.1, \w was set to no longer 
match unicode characters, because the core developers were concerned 
that this was not what people expected from \w."

Well, 1.9.2 behaving differently than 1.9.1 and 1.8 is certainly less 
expected.

Apparently in 1.9 \p{Word} can be used instead of \w to match unicode 
characters; however I did not find any documentation for this ("word" 
it's not a unicode character category).
