"End locked content call does not have a matching start locked content call" message

Question

When defining a tagging rule I get the above message for what normally is a valid regex expression. 
 What does this message mean?

That's a placeholder, not a tag pair.

 Perhaps it's because the caret at the start of the opening tag means it can't find a match at all as you don't have any inline tags beginning at the start of the extracted structure, but it can find the closing tag. Hard to know without seeing the content you are trying to tag.
