Are you sure you are running 8.2-507?  This bug was fixed early in the 8.2
series:

Version 8.2-dev501 (2006-02-09):

When performing replace processing we must continue processing until we
hit the end of a user supplied query, not just once we've detected the end
of a valid query. Consider the example: SELECT a FROM t WHERE (1>0)) ORDER
BY a; We must send the whole query to the backend, not just the section
before the last closing parenthesis. (jurka) Thanks to Senden Kris.
