Without seeing the body of the function or the error message it is a bit
of a guess, that has never stopped me before, so here are a couple of
suggestions:

Dollar quoting
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS
4.1.2.4. Dollar-quoted String Constants

so:

select load_stage_start_v1($$QA_SUMMER'2013_(EU/US)$$)

quote_literal
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/functions-string.html

Use quote_literal() in function to properly escape string.
