Incorrect braces in Sparql test cases

In the Sparql test cases[1] some of the test queries use round 
parentheses ( and ) rather than curly braces { and }

The grammer[2] appears to only allow the curly braces and this is 
supported by the prose.

One approved example using round parentheses is here:

I also believe the following to be incorrect, but not all of these are 
approved tests:

Is my interpretation of the grammar correct and should these tests be 
updated?
