I get similar results with 5.1.2 (Windows):

  print (1 and true)
  --> true

  print (1 and true or false)
  --> true

  print ((1 or 2) and true)
  --> true

  print ((1 or 2) and true or false)
  --> 1

Maybe it's just afternoon drowsiness, but I'm a bit puzzled too. It's as 
if the inner set of parenthesis were ignored and the last one is 
interpreted as (1 or (2 and true) or false) due to precedence.
