Not true, at least not in the current PCRE. This is output from pcretest:
PCRE version 8.10 2010-06-25
'\QTeST\E'
TeST
0: TeST
'\Qtest\E'i
TeST
0: TeST
In other words, a match in both cases. To doublecheck, I looked at the
compiled code for the cases with and without \Q...\E, and they are
identical.
