No, It doesn't.
In my machine:

First select
ERROR:  syntax error at end of input
LINE 1: select * from rapadura.cliente limit 20%
                                                ^
Second one:
ERROR:  argument of LIMIT must not contain subqueries

Postgres 8.3

Your SQL works for me exactly as it is (substituting a table in my
