ZF2 form validation not working properly for email

i have a input box with type="email" and validation it with zend validator 

<input type="email" name="email" > email </input>
'email' => array(
                'required' => true,
                'validators' => array(

                    array(
                        'name' => 'Regex',
                        'options' => array(
                            'pattern'=>'/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*$/', 
                            'messages' => array(
                                \Zend\Validator\Regex::NOT_MATCH=>'Please fill correct email ',
                            )
                        ),
                        'break_chain_on_failure' => true
                    ),

                ),

problem is if i use another array to check for

IS_EMPTY

zend regex again does not display the above error instead display default zend regex error and if i remove IS_EMPTY then it works fine. regex error is

 1. input does not match to expression '/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*$/'

EXACTLY NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WORKS FINE WITHOUT EMPTY CHECK AND DOESN'T WORK ALONG WITH IT

You don't need to use notEmpty, you only need to set the field as "required" and specify the error message:

    $this->add(array(
        'name' => 'email',
        'required' => true,
        'error_message' => 'Please entry e-mail.',
        'validators' => array(
            array(
                'name' => 'EmailAddress',
                'options' => array (
                    'messages' => array(EmailAddress::INVALID => 'Please specify a valid e-mail.'),
                ),
                'break_chain_on_failure' => true,
            ),
        ),
    ));

I have also the same dilemma where this "input does not match to expression" always appears instead of the message for EmailAddress::INVALID_FORMAT. But I found that the code you posted fixed the same error I had. This is my code.

'validators' => array(
            array (
                'name' => 'Regex',
                'options' => array(
                    'pattern'=>'/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*$/',
                    'messages' => array(
                        Regex::NOT_MATCH    => 'Please provide a valid email address.',
                    ),
                ),
                'break_chain_on_failure' => true
            ),
            array(
                'name' => 'EmailAddress',
                'options' => array(
                    'messages' => array(
                        EmailAddress::INVALID_FORMAT   => 'Please provide a valid email address.',
                        EmailAddress::DOT_ATOM         => '',
                        EmailAddress::INVALID_FORMAT   => '',
                        EmailAddress::INVALID_LOCAL_PART => '',
                        EmailAddress::QUOTED_STRING => '',
                    )
                ),
            ),
        ),
