Thanks, I had missed that! Perhaps it would be helpful for bankd to explicitly log that no reader was found according to the regex - in my case the problem wasn't obvious, and the client would keep retrying in a loop.

yes.

This is already documented rather explicitly, please see
https://gitea.osmocom.org/sim-card/osmo-remsim/src/commit/958ae50de114def58e3213a06d469de0bb19fa7d/doc/manuals/chapters/remsim-bankd.adoc#L150
| NOTE:: If the reader name contains any special characters, they might need to be escaped according
| to the extended POSIX regular expression syntax. See `man 7 regex` for a reference.
The example config file snippet just below it also contains \[ style escaping
