Your newer example is still working as documented.  The %s swallows
everything up to the space, including the right parenthesis.  Then
there is nothing to match the right parenthesis in the format string.

This behavior dates back to the C function sscanf that the Go code is
based on.  The %s code can be useful for space-separated fields, but
is not very useful for anything else.
