The value is a regular expression internally, but you don't need to enter it as one.   GnuPG automatically takes what you enter into the domain field and converts it to a regexp.  For example:

  example.com

becomes:

  <[^>]+[@.]example\.com>$

Can you post the actual user IDs of the keys you are testing with (or a similar example.com set) so I can try them as well?
