If I first compile regexp, and then perform compiled_regexp.sub, everything seems to work correctly.

If you read docs carefully, you notice that re.sub doesn't accept flags argument. Its 4th argument is count, re.U numerical value is 32.
Closing as invalid. There are some duplicates too, I'm sure.
