Yes. There also the same error in 
check/exam_inifcns_nstdsums.cpp:inifcns_test_S().

Here is the simplest code which fails in the similar way (exception
due to the parser error):

#include <iostream>
#include <ginac/ginac.h>
using namespace std;
using namespace GiNaC;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
	ex e = ex("-1 + 2*I", symbol());
	cout << e << endl;
	return 0;
}

The error message is:
Terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  syntax error, unexpected T_EOF, expecting ']' or ',' at

I'm not sure if we are talking about the same bug...
