The Exim string layer takes the \x00 to make a NUL character which
terminates the regex string.

filter.txt "3.22 String testing conditions" ends with a description of
regexp quoting past the string layer and the quote layer. See:
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/filter.html#SEC23
for details.

Probably (and untested):
if $rheader_from: matches \N^\x00-\x7f]{5,}\N
