That was testing the wrong version. *Now* it parses perfectly.

The issue comes from how to model

  [82]   NIL  	  ::=    	'(' WS* ')'
  [83]   WS 	  ::=   	#x20 | #x9 | #xD | #xA
  [84]   ANON 	  ::=   	'[' WS* ']'
and
  Comments in SPARQL queries take the form of '#', outside an IRI or
  string, and continue to the end of line (marked by characters 0x0D
  or 0x0A) or end of file if there is no end of line after the comment
  marker. Comments are treated as white space.

I took that to mean that WS *really* included "'#' [^\r\n]*" so I
ammended WS:

  [86]   WS 	  ::=   	#x20 | #x9 | #xD | #xA | '#' [^\r\n]*

Trying to think up a better way to express this in rq25...
Perhaps an extra production?
