It does, the problem is the two consecutive -o operators. Test's
syntax is so bizarre, that how that gets interpreted is beyond comprehension.
(The "closing paren expected" that it is complaining about would be a
missing \) of course, not the ']' which is taken care of at a whole
different level.)

That's a different issue....
