Oh, duh, makeItemLikeRegex() is expecting a plain JsonPathString, and JsonPathParseItem.value.like_regex is set up for just a constant pattern. We could no doubt fix that, but it's a bigger lift than I was hoping.
Not in a position to do it myself but we should confirm we aren't simply following the standard here, and if so decide whether we want to deviate.
