unexpexred SelectorParseException

My query is:
( //script | //*[@id] | //*[@class] | //*[@for] )
My query works on Selenium. But when I try to run the query to get a list of jsoup Elements by the following function:

	public static void normaliseHtmlDom(Document htmlDom) throws ConfigInitializationException {
		Elements elements = htmlDom.getAllElements();
		Elements ignoredElements = Xsoup.compile(ConfigUtils.getInstance().getIgnoredXPathUnion()).evaluate(htmlDom).getElements();
		for(Element element : elements) {
			if(ignoredElements.contains(element)) {
				elements.remove(element);
			}
		}
		
//		normaliseElementsByTagNames(elements);
//		normaliseElementsByAttributeNames(elements);
	}

The following Exception is thrown:
org.jsoup.select.Selector$SelectorParseException: Could not parse query '( //script | //*[@id] | //*[@class] | //*[@for] )': unexpected token at '( //script | //*[@id] | //*[@class] | //*[@for] )'

Start by reproducing the query passed to Xsoup.compile(ConfigUtils.getInstance().getIgnoredXPathUnion()) and inspect how the selector is parsed before evaluate(htmlDom). Compare the result with the Selenium behavior; done means the reported XPath query no longer raises SelectorParseException and evaluates to the intended elements.
