Works with JIT disabled.

The problem is more subtle than this, as the following all work:

var_dump(preg_match('~[\pL\p{Cyrillic}]~u', 'testЛ'));
var_dump(preg_match('~[\pL]~u', 'testЛ'));
var_dump(preg_match('~[\p{Cyrillic}]~u', 'testЛ'));
var_dump(preg_match('~[\pL]~u', 'test'));
var_dump(preg_match('~[\p{Cyrillic}]~u', 'Л'));
var_dump(preg_match('~\pL~u', 'Л'));
var_dump(preg_match('~\p{Cyrillic}~u', 'testЛ'));
var_dump(preg_match('~\pL\p{Cyrillic}~u', 'testЛ'));

The regression has been introduced by updating to PCRE2 10.33[1],
so apparently is an upstream issue, which might have been resolved
already.

This has been confirmed to be an upstream issue (which has been
already resolved), so I'm closing this ticket.
