[XeTeX] XeLaTeX bug: xelatex couldn't use files with parenthesis (was Re: XeTeX/MiKTeX bug: \graphicspath does not work as intended)

[Vladimir Lomov]

I found more intersting bug(?) in xelatex:

I write small document:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% parenthesis.tex %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

Test. Before file inclusion.

\include{file(A)}
%\input{file(A)}
%\input file(A).tex

Test. After file inclusion.

\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% /parenthesis.tex %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

where 'file(A).tex' is

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% file(A).tex %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%%% For test purpose only

This is a small test. The name of this file has a '()'. More exactly, this file name is
'file(A).tex'

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% /file(A).tex %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Run:
latex parenthesis
pdflatex parenthesis
work fine.

Run
xelatex parenthesis
goes without problem but doesn't include file 'file(A).tex'
