I just tried this query with three python json libraries
(cjson,simplejson,demjson), and all of them failed to give an error
when decoding this query.  Perhaps there are many others that fail as
well.  This makes me think that the MQL engine inside Freebase isn't
even seeing the mangled query, and thus this is a real Freebase bug.
