The following program crashes with the panic:

package main

import "regexp"

func main() {
    regexp.MustCompile(regexp.QuoteMeta("\xfe"))
}
panic: regexp: Compile("\xfe"): error parsing regexp: invalid UTF-8: `�`

Documentation claims that "the returned string is a regular expression matching the literal text".

Package regexp only works on UTF-8. The package docs say "All characters are UTF-8-encoded code points."
