You don't have commas separating the items. POV-Ray doesn't care about 
spaces or separate lines, it sees:
                            -2/13, <-1,0,0>
                           -1/13, <0,0,0>
as:
-2/13, <-1,0,0> - 1/13, <0,0,0>

When you add in the parentheses, it sees:
-2/13, <-1,0,0> (-1/13), <0,0,0>
and can figure out that the "-1/13" is a separate value.
