What are you expecting will replace "{role}" with something
valid?  Whatever that is is apparently somehow dependent
on the context being upper-case.

Well, it's clearer, but I don't believe it.  What I think is
far more likely an explanation is that you've got some weird
non-ASCII whitespace in the first version of the command.
Copying-and-pasting from your mail doesn't show anything
strange though.

All I can say is it works for me, and I can't tell from here
what's different on your end.

I forget the specifics, but I have seen issues before if the terminal 
encoding and client encoding don't match. Could it be something like that?

Theoretically, if the example is all-ASCII, that shouldn't matter.
But for sure there is something weird happening.

One idea for investigation is to set log_statement = 'all' and
then see how the troublesome command shows up in the postmaster log.
