I don't know how regexes work in perl, but the thing is that
@ANY_VERSION@ already contains  (  ), so you are effectively duplicating
them.  From your log:
    v((?:[-_]?v?(\d[\-+\.:\~\da-zA-Z]*)))

So I wouldn't be surprised that those brackets where causing some double
capturing or something similar, or at least this would be my
speculation.

BTW, @ANY_VERSION@ also already contains a v? in there, so you can do
away with your own.
