I don't know if it's a regression because I don't know if it
_deliberately_ worked in an earlier version.

But I just checked all versions I still have around and can say that 
2.15.40
2.16.0 and
2.17.3 
compiled the example correctly

while 2.17.16 crops the bracket as shown in the attachment to my initial
email.
