Fix bug whereby length on a tied scalar that returned a UTF-8 value
would not be correct the first time. (And for the more pathological
case, would be incorrect if the UTF-8-ness of the returned value
changed.)

Real regexps are stored via RVs, IVs can only mean spare slots. Hence
it's safe to make the scalar undefined, rather than calling out to
