Set up:
GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 344, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.23, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2020-12-31 Org mode version 9.4.6 (release_9.4.6-637-gd70f28 @ /usr/local/share/org-mode/lisp/)

The following code will evaluate

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun Foo ()
(if (= 2 4) bar))
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: Foo
and the opening and closing parentheses match.

If a greater than is inserted instead of equals, thus

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun Foo ()
(if (> 2 4) bar))
#+end_src

it apparently evaluates, however, the closing parenthesis immediately following the "4" is paired with the opening paren before "if" and not the opening paren immediately before the ">"

A "less than" results with stranger parenthesis matching - the closing paren after the "4" matches no others; the closing paren immediately after "bar" matches the opening paren before "if"
