I also see the warnings. In my case it's because I'm using outline-minor
mode in an elisp file. I'm not sure it's supported, but it worked years
ago: I could fold and unfold sections with usual org-mode keys like C-tab.
I miss that feature. I never managed to learn the real outline-mode
keys/concepts (outline-show-branches, outline-hide-subtree etc.).

To reproduce it, I used test.el with:


;; -*- mode: emacs-lisp; mode:outline-minor; hs-minor-mode: nil;
outline-regexp:";;;;* [^ \n]" -*-

;; a
;;; a1
;; b


Then I went to ;; a     and pressed C-tab, expecting to open/close that
section (showing/hiding the a1). And I saw the warning, and an error:
rx--translate-bounded-repetition: rx ‘**’ range error [3 times]

Please excuse if my expectations or my test file are broken. I didn't use
this feature in years.
