My guess is simply because we got a "works-for-us" regexp by observing the program's behaviour, done by real Pine users. On top of that, probably nobody knew and/or bothered to check if there is such "official spec" available.

Could you send a signed and testable patch to the list so other Pine users can try it out please? After seeing a few Ack's on the list, I'd like to apply it and preferably do so before 1.5.3 final.
