I believe the reason behind this is that contextualizers (such as %(...)) are not parsed with the normal () rule, and not handled by the circumfix:sym\<( )> action method. They have their own parsing logic here:

https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/164f1e070154bbb80a27d312be15de948fc8db81/src/Perl6/Grammar.nqp#L1917

...and the corresponding action method (found at https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/a927a5a2c7570cc2c78ea69e8b0eff3b26cf48a5/src/Perl6/Actions.nqp#L1777) does not invoke &infix:\<,> like https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/a927a5a2c7570cc2c78ea69e8b0eff3b26cf48a5/src/Perl6/Actions.nqp#L4968 does.
