I've tried without much success to reproduce this. I think this is a problem with your PHP setup, but I'm not 100% sure. The test that's failing in the code is a preg_match function call to make sure that the ticket begins with an ST or a PT (which it clearly does according to your error message). Preg_match is doing a perl regular expression test to make this determination.
Here's a couple of possibilities:
* make sure your phpinfo reports that perl regular expressions are enabled.
* make sure magic quotes is turned of in your php config, this should be handled by the drupal .htaccess file, but if Apache allow overrides is not enabled (or you're using windows) those settings won't hold.
If you're not afraid of coding a little PHP, you might consider trying out the examples that ship with the esup php libraries to make sure this library is functioning properly in your environement.
If all this baffles you, post a copy of your phpinfo(); output so that I can look for other potential problems with your environment.
FYI: In case you hadn't figured this out, it's the esup php library that's throwing the error and not the drupal module.

Was this issue resolved. I appear to be having the same problem but with version 6.x.
I have no problems with it when I have a hand compiled PHP but when I am using Zend Server, it fails. I get to the CAS server, login, and the ticket is passed back and it looks like the URL above.
http://servername/?q=cas&ticket=ST-1105-dYRWnbRfz1wTAmYPnfcP-cas2.server...
The only thing I've been able to determine is perhaps the phpCAS or the CAS module is looking for PHP in the wrong spot? Zend does not install in /etc instead it is /usr/local/zend/etc.

Did you check phpinfo() page on your zend server to make sure that perl regular expressions are supported?
