I see no problem here.

SELECT 'oneå two three' ~ '^[^ ]+[ ][^ ]+$';?column?
----------f
(1 row)

SELECT 'oneå three' ~ '^[^ ]+[ ][^ ]+$';?column?
----------t
(1 row)

(The database encoding is UNICODE)

This is PostgreSQL 7.1.3/7.2.1 running on a Linux box. I guess you
have some problems with your installation or platform.
