I tried the obvious replace("abc def", &#x9;'\\t') (the space is a
tab)  and variations thereof (declaring a variable for the tab) and
I get "The regular expression in replace() must not be one that
matches a zero-length string"

If you have a solution to hand I'd be grateful

as posted it would be a syntax error as you only have two arguments to replace, it should be

replace("abc def", '	', '\\t')

To get the error that you showed you must have had a regex that matched "" usually because it has a * in it.
