It's not a bug, it's expected behavior.

You really call it expected that a process with a parenthesis in the process title can't use OCI, but gets an obscure error message instead? Sure, it's a corner case, and in most cases it can be worked around, but it's still a bug.

Hmm, I wonder if you could do something malicious with it. Like, run a query along the lines of "SELECT $$ (HOST=10.0.0.123) $$, connect()... " to divert the connection to another server.
