Doubling of backslash, as well as "\$" is necessary because ${sg..}
expands all of its arguments, and this behaviour is documented with
proper examples.
It's really ambiguous, because ".*" may contain digits, but default
PCRE behaviour is preference of leading pattern in expansion loop.
I do not remember how this "greediness" may be changed (one should
study docs), but this variant works:
# exim4 -be '${sg{16}{^(\\d+).*\$}{\$1}}'
16
exim4 -be '${sg{16.45}{^(\\d+).*\$}{\$1}}'
16
