I've added a feature request:

Language detection is probably impossible with USFM since there is no 
standard place to encode the language and no standard set of language 
tags in use for USFM. Adding the ability to set the code from a command 
line argument will be easy enough, but until then 'und' seemed more 
appropriate than the old practice of just using 'en' for every module.

This should be fixed now. I haven't tested it, but it was fairly clear 
that it was just a missing r to make strings raw strings for a regex 
replace.
