As a workaround, try:

NUTS_NAME IN ('Nordburgenland', 'Waldviertel', ... )

I've also submitted a fix so that those many OR can be supported:

The issue was naturally the parser would construct a deeply unbalanced expression tree, and 
sanity checks triggered to avoid potential call stack overflows when evaluating it.
