"NOTES
   (10) In an array_aggregate, positional notation may only be used with
   two or more expressions; a single expression in parentheses is 
   interpreted as a parenthesized_expression. A named_array_aggregate,
   such as (1 => X), may be used to specify an array with a single
   component."

Sorry to have wasted your time.
