Ah ... ok. I see. (And I even guessed that already when I was reading

No, I'm pretty sure the problem is the space in the path name
(i.e. "program files"). PyX doesn't find a file "C:\program" and hence
it does not ignore all the stuff in the brackets. Sure, we do have
real problems in parsing TeX's output, but we really try to do our
very best. How should we know that
"files\texmf\tex\latex\base\article.cls" is a continuation of the file
name. We just don't know ...
While it's clearly a bug, I don't know how to properly fix it. We
might need to add some more magic here ... (as we already did with
file names longer than the line length). So thanks for the moment for
the hint and I'll add a todo item ...
