Actually, "rgb 1" does not become <1,1,1,1,1>.  It will become <1,1,1,0,0>.
However, "rgb 1" is NOT what we have here.

The issue is that the parser interprets "rgb 1 - Gray25" as
    "rgb (1 - Gray25) "
which promotes to
    "rgb (<1,1,1,1,1> - Gray25)"
which becomes
    "rgb (<0.75,0.75,0.75,1,1>)"
and then the "rgb" gets ignored.

Instead you probably desired this:
    "(rgb 1) - Gray25"

Unfortunately, the parser won't accept that second version (with the "rgb 1"
wrapped in parentheses) as I wrote it above, but there are plenty of other
ways to work around this quirk in the POV parser.  Examples have been given
in previous replies.
