Yes, the current behavior makes sense under the default style, but when
highlighting parenthesized expressions, it does not.  Instead, it causes
confusion.  For example, it makes me worry that Emacs will copy the
marked expression without the opening parenthesis.  Given that the
highlight exists to help the user, and not to confuse them, I decided to
report this bug.  I hope it all makes sense.
