The reason is that with operator_precedence_warning = on, there's an
explicit raw-parse-tree node for the parenthesis pair, which otherwise
there is not, so that exprLocation reports a different result for the
location of the subexpression.
We could possibly prevent the difference by having exprLocation look
through such nodes. I'm not sure offhand if there are cases where
that would be worse than before. We've definitely made some other
hacks to hide the difference between operator_precedence_warning on
and off.
