I don't know whether this has fixed meanwhile; it looks like a bug in
help2man 1.012 which has been used to create this man page (dated

 Beware that many operators need to be escaped or quoted for shells.
 Comparisons are arithmetic if both ARGs are numbers, else lexicographical.
-Pattern matches return the string matched between \( and \) or null; if
-\( and \) are not used, they return the number of characters matched or 0.
+Pattern matches return the string matched between \\( and \\) or null; if
+\\( and \\) are not used, they return the number of characters matched or 0.
