Comment (by JProffitt71):

 +1 I just ran into this exact same issue. It is preventing me from
 properly creating a structure for a rebuild of a site that used month
 names instead of month numbers in their post permalinks.

 I worked around it by defining my own tokens for `(` and `)`, and then
 replaced those in "post_rewrite_rules"

 The only way I could work around it right now is to define my own
 placeholders for '(' and ')' and replace those in a `post_rewrite_rules`
 filter. (Note: I couldn't use non-capturing groups because those throw off
 the queryvar matching, it puts the next tag in my non-capturing tags query
 var).
