[yahonda (Yasuo Honda)]

I'm reporting this issue based on Rails Nightly CI against Ruby 3.4.0dev.
https://buildkite.com/rails/rails-nightly/builds/1023#0191ed31-1d77-4705-ab65-cecab76e2c88/1175-1209
I have not able to create a minimum test case without Rails yet.

Steps to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/rails/rails
cd rails/actionview
bin/test test/template/template_test.rb:278

Expected behavior

It should pass as it Runs parser.y parser

$ RUBYOPT=--parser=parse.y bin/test test/template/template_test.rb:278
/home/yahonda/.gem/ruby/3.4.0+0/gems/json-2.7.1/lib/json/common.rb:3: warning: ostruct was loaded from the standard library, but will no longer be part of the default gems starting from Ruby 3.5.0.
You can add ostruct to your Gemfile or gemspec to silence this warning.

Actual behavior

It raises the following syntax error found (SyntaxError)

I'm unsure if this is the same case as Rails, but I found a reproduce code.

# encoding: US-ASCII

str = String.new("hello \xFC", encoding: Encoding::ISO_8859_1).encode(Encoding::UTF_8)
puts str =~ /hello \u{fc}/
