indeed, this seems to be the case. Fortunately, the workaround is quite
easy and should suffice until this bug gets fixed in the ptraj argument
stack parsing routines.

ptraj should dump all selected atoms to stdout, so that you can check
the correctness of the atom masks you suggest (minimally make sure that
number of selected atoms is what you expect). A more flexible atom
selection parser will be put into ptraj soon (don't ask how soon :-)).
Because ptraj is also distributed separately from amber8 package, there
should be no problem to obtain the updated version...
