IMHO:
Yes.

The definition of gloss in the schema is xs:string, not osisGenRegex.
The former places no semantic on the content an allows for an empty string.

If gloss should have a semantic, then it should be changed in the OSIS spec.

The latter is used by lemma and morph and is specified as:
((((\p{L}|\p{N}|_)+)(\.(\p{L}|\p{N}|_))*:)?([^:\s])+)
which basically is work:value.
If I read this right it does not allow for :  to be escaped. I know we allow lemma=“x:a y:b” but I don’t see that this allows for the pattern to be repeated, separated by spaces.

The pattern would need to change ([^:\s])+ to (\\:|[^:\s])+  [ not tested ]
