I do not view this as a bug.

The docs state that the supported syntax is '{' followed immediately
by '/'.  The code does support this.  It also forgives intervening
whitespace, which is undocumented.  If you place extra whitespace
in the command, then you have gone outside the documented spec and
should not complain about the results. It happens that the code does
something reasonable anyhow, which is a relatively user-friendly
outcome and hardly deserves the label "bug".
