I confirm, this looks like a bug. From the help, I would expect ib and ab to
select an area defined by the [( and ]) motions. But [( and ]) at the same
cursor location jump to the expected text. These motions additionally respect
the cpo-% flag (or lack thereof).
Furthermore, if you put a linebreak after that last comma, the text object
selects the expected text. It looks like only the special case where the
opening and closing parenthesis are on the same line is broken.
