You would need to post your hep.cfg for anyone to tell. Looks like you
are including a configuration parameter of a regex type, which is an
object that can't be contained in a subcatalog config file.

It is possible that we can go to Data::Dumper cloning to replace the
rather long-in-the-tooth copyref routine used in subcatalog config
merge, but I don't know if that supports regex types either.
