Ahah! So concatenation is not a very high priority when evaluating statements. 
I learn something new every day! I can see though why it would be like that. I 
could also ask for:

word 1 of "one two" & word 1 of "three four" and expect "one three".

One more argument for grouping with parentheses even when it seems unnecessary.

Sometimes they're not necessary with compound expressions, but even then they're almost always useful for readability.

I tend to use parens liberally for not only string concats but also for multi-conditional expressions, e.g.:

if ( (word 1 of tMyVar = "Bob") AND (word 2 of tMyVar = "Sneidar") ) \
  OR (tMyVar = "Andre Garzia") then
   DoSomething
end if
