I don't think so. In my experience this has never been so, and it is 
a bad idea since upon loading ALL atoms are selected by default.

In formats like mol this works. For pdb format, you need the bio 
specification, like *.OB or *.CA or 26SER.CA.

I did not know about this notation, but I just tested and it works, 
at least  in 13.0.8:

$ load $caffeine
$ select (_O)[1]
1 atoms selected
$ select (_O)[1] or (_N)[2]
2 atoms selected
$ select (_O)[1], (_N)[2]
2 atoms selected

Ah, it's broken in 13.1.8
