:contains() selector doesn't support parentheses

Description
So, it seems I don't actually need quotes when using contains:
$(':contains(foo)') works as expected.
$(':contains("foo")') does the exact same thing.
$(':contains("(foo")') dies with: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: "(assembling")
So I have to wonder, what is the point of the quotes if they don't actually escape anything? Should they be dropped, or should this be fixed to allow parens?

I'm seeing the same issue too. Escaping the parentheses doesn't work. Below is a jsFiddle test case that will replicate the bug:
