intermedia text search string with special charachters at beginning / end bounces with error

Hello!

I discovered a strange behaviour in Oracle Intermedia (8.1.6 / Solaris):

Consider a query with:
contains (t.body, '(München) OR (München)', 1) > 0
--> query went through with results, no problems!

But a query with:
contains (t.body, '(Überschrift) OR (Überschrift)', 1) > 0
--> the same with a special character at the end of a query term,
query bounces back with:
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine ORA-20000: interMedia Text error: DRG-50901: text query parser syntax error

Is this a bug or feature?

I also dug through OTN and this newsgroup, but found nothing similar.

Help would be appreciated,
