It seems to me there is a problem with regular expressions.
When i create table and try to insert some restriction for
a fields, system accept it. Then, whem i insert something, which
dont match to regexp, it inserted anyway or backwards.
Maybe i am do something wrong, but...
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to
provide a concise reproducible example, if at all possible:

arom> psql
1.
arom=> create table vv (v char(10) CHECK (v ~*
'^[a-z]+\@[a-z]+'));
CREATE
arom=> INSERT INTO vv VALUES ('aq@wwww');
INSERT 19863 1
arom=> INSERT INTO vv VALUES (' aq@wwww');
ERROR: ExecAppend: rejected due to CHECK constraint vv_v
arom=> INSERT INTO vv VALUES ('aq@2wwww');
ERROR: ExecAppend: rejected due to CHECK constraint vv_v
arom=> INSERT INTO vv VALUES ('aq@wwww ');
INSERT 19864 1
arom=> drop table vv;
DROP
arom=> create table vv (v char(10) CHECK (v ~* '^[a-z]+$'));
CREATE
arom=> INSERT INTO vv VALUES ('aq');
ERROR: ExecAppend: rejected due to CHECK constraint vv_v
In POSIX standart symbol '$' means END OF LINE. Right?
2.
arom=> create table vv (v char(10) CHECK (v ~* '[:alnum:]+'));
CREATE
arom=> INSERT INTO vv VALUES ('12345');
ERROR: ExecAppend: rejected due to CHECK constraint vv_v
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
arom=> INSERT INTO vv VALUES ('abcd');
INSERT 19895 1
arom=> INSERT INTO vv VALUES ('123abcd');
INSERT 19896 1
arom=> drop table vv;
DROP
[:alnum:] means [:alpha:] and [:digit:].
But [a-z0-9] works correct
If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution
