It turns out, though, that the bug exists only for certain adverbs on
the right. So there are some details involved.

That can't be right - in that case the parenthesis are redundant.
It's only when non-redundant parentheses are not reproduced that we
have a bug in linear representation.
That said, if I am understanding this thread, the top-level
parenthesis around any sub-expression to the left of an unknown adverb
or conjunction (or to the left of any parenthesized expression which
contains an unknown adverb or conjunction) when building a linear
representation must be considered non-redundant because you don't know
what grammar the expression will be used in.
This, in turn, suggests that those parenthesis are not the
responsibility of the code representing the sub-expression itself
(because they are not redundant there), but in the code which
assembles that representation into the larger expression.
I haven't looked at the implementation though - so it's possible that
actually implementing this concept would require a major restructuring
or rewrite of some sort.
