I get no error from a minimal test case with parentheses in the dirname:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{dir(2018)/preamble}
\begin{document}
\test
\end{document}

and dir(2018)/preamble.sty contains the single line

\newcommand{\test}{Text from subdir with parentheses}

I’m a bit surprised that it works.
