I can't reproduce this behaviour with 5.3, and g.parser itself is
unchanged in 5.7 (although G_parser() has some changes).

Are you sure that the problem isn't in the way that the GIS_OPT_*
variables are used in the script? Have you tried it with the test.sh
script from the g.parser directory? E.g.

	$ test.sh rast=fields vect=fields option1='hello world'
	
	Flag -f not set
	Value of GIS_OPT_option1: 'hello world'
	Value of GIS_OPT_raster: 'fields'
	Value of GIS_OPT_vect: 'fields'
