Can you pinpoint where you think the logic is incorrect? I can't easily see 
where the parens are being added, and don't know anyone who checks/uses that 
code path.

This hasn't been touched in a very long time, which makes me a tad cautious in 
how this gets changed. Would need someone to either provide a patch, or at 
least provide a means to test the result.
