Coverity is still unhappy after commit 190c79884, and after looking closer I think it might be onto something. The callers of newdfa() typically drop out if v->err has been set nonzero, which newdfa() is faithfully doing if it fails. However, what if v->err was already nonzero before we entered newdfa()? Then newdfa() could succeed and the caller would promptly leak its result. I don't think this scenario can actually happen, but the predicate "v->err is always zero when newdfa() is called" seems difficult to be entirely sure of; there's a good deal of code that potentially could get that wrong. It seems better to adjust the callers to directly check for a null result instead of relying on ISERR() tests. This is slightly cheaper than the previous coding anyway. Lacking evidence that there's any real bug, no back-patch.
