Description hanya 2012-01-04 10:23:22 UTC 
Reference a group like $1 in replace text do not work anymore with the regexp engine replaced with ICU's one.

Here is an example to reproduce: 
Text: ab
Search for: a(b)
Replace with: $1

Results empty string, it should be "b". This works on OOo 3.3.0.
The history of the modification in Undo button shows "Replace: 'ab' -> ''" means 
$1 is empty. When I change the replace text to $0, it worked.
