No, Mark, you are very correct. Parentheses can NOT be used with the I=
value on a lookup line. Not in any version I've ever seen up through 5.0.14.
Don't know who is saying this is so, but he/she is dead wrong.

And again, it always cracks me up when I see someone saying "It works for me
on this version or that..."  and I *know* that's impossible.  What is the
purpose of saying this, if you <actually> haven't tried it. (or presumably,
you would have seen the same error everyone else gets. :-)
