BUG #2100: CREATE TABLE AS - may not supply table specification

The following bug has been logged online:

Description:        CREATE TABLE AS - may not supply table specification
Details:

CREATE TABLE AS seems to be broken.

The following syntax works:

CREATE TABLE l_modeltext WITHOUT OIDS AS (SELECT distinct modeltext as text,
make, model, make_id, model_id from l_modelcode);

while the following generates an error:

CREATE TABLE l_modeltext
(
  id serial NOT NULL,
  text varchar(60),
  make varchar(30),
  model varchar(30),
  make_id int4,
  model_id int4
) WITHOUT OIDS AS (SELECT distinct modeltext as text, make, model, make_id,
model_id from l_modelcode);

with the following errorcode:

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "AS" at character 94

However, the errorcode is, strangely enough, somewhat dependent on where the
edit-cursor is placed inside pgAdmin.
