Tony, the "official" released non-beta binaries from vim.org stopped at 7.3.46. If somebody views the patches as a "nightly" or "dev" sort of build, I can understand being stuck at 7.3.46 for so long.

Normally I'd say that the patches to Vim are almost always safe bugfixes...but after patch 969 or wherever the regex was introduced, things were fairly broken for a good long time.
