a slightly better (but incomplete) solution would be to change the line (260)
from
start='/[^/]'
to
start='/[^ /]'

this would treat something like (x / y) as simple division ... but would not treat / xyzz/ as a groovy reg expr string ... That is, groovy reg expr strings that do not start with a space are interpreted correctly, but ones that start with a space will not be highlighted
