scheme parsing is adding extra parentheses for pattern matching commands

for atomspace commit 16790c7005a80eb70a1281cfac85a00512140bb8 (october 7, 2021)
and Habush/atomspace-rpc current master
and current atomspace from mozi.ai
running the annotation service docker locally produces this error:

accessing from the guile REPL works for find-similar-node but not for exec-pattern:

scheme@(guile-user)> (find-similar-node "prod-atom" "Gene" "BRC")
$27 = ((GeneNode "BRCA3")
 (GeneNode "BRCA2")
 (GeneNode "BRCC3")
 (GeneNode "BRCA1")
 (GeneNode "BRCA2(IV)")
)
scheme@(guile-user)> (exec-pattern "prod-atom" (Meet (Member (Gene "IGF1") (Variable "$pway"))))
ice-9/boot-9.scm:1669:16: In procedure raise-exception:
Throw to key `C++-EXCEPTION' with args `("exec-pattern" "Executing pattern failed.

corresponding error output from atomspace-rpc binary is:
