Can't spot an error in the regexp. Maybe you could single out the
problem by setting `debug-on-error' to t and see if the backtrace
contains information on what causes the error?
Anyway, the second might have a flaw in logic: /flag:digest/ shows
unread and important messages but by default expire does not expire
those messages:
WL Manual, 9.2.2

| 9.2.2 Treatment for Important or Unread Messages

| If you specify any of remove, trash, a folder name, or a standard
| function, messages with marks in wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks
| (which are called reserved messages thereafter) are retained.
|
| Per default, this variable include the important, new, and unread
| marks, so that messages with these marks are not removed. Note that
| you cannot include the temporary mark (i.e. temporary marks are
| removed anyway), and be sure to process temporary marks before you
| invoke expiration.
