9.6 and PostgreSQL 10+. The space character at the end of the string is
actually U+2006 SIX-PER-EM SPACE

I am accessing the databases running locally by ssh-ing first to the host.

all cases the regex resulted in true on PostgreSQL 10+ and false on earlier
versions (down to 9.3). The query comes from a table check that suddenly
stopped accepting rows valid in the older version during the migration. Making
it  select 'abcd ' ~ E'abcd\\s' doesn't  modify the outcome, unsurprisingly.

select version();
                                       version

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  PostgreSQL 10.5 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (SUSE Linux)
4.8.5, 64-bit

lc_collate                          | en_US.UTF-8

lc_ctype                            | en_US.UTF-8

test=# select 'abcd'||chr(2006) ~ E'abcd\s';
  ?column?
----------
  f
(1 row)

In your example you are working on Postgres devel. Have you tried it on
Postgres 10 and/or 11?
 
char(2006) produces the wrong character as 2006 is the hex-value. You have to
use 8198:
 
andreak(at)[local]:5433 10.4 andreak=# select version();

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                            version
                                            │

├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ PostgreSQL 10.4 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu
7.3.0-16ubuntu3) 7.3.0, 64-bit │

└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
(1 row)

andreak(at)[local]:5433 10.4 andreak=# select 'abcd'||chr(8198) ~ 'abcd\s';
┌──────────┐
│ ?column? │
├──────────┤
│ t        │
└──────────┘
(1 row)
