That shouldn't occur.  \input<something> (without braces) is a Plain  
TeX primitive but in LaTeX, \input is a macro that implements some  
safety mechanism, when called with an arument enclosed in braces;  
otherwise it calls the TeX primitve directly which in LaTeX is called  
\@@input.

In short: that shouldn't occur.
