Hi Jeremy,
This is not an answer but my thoughts after reading it.
It looks like the first option originally had some other text with it that
was removed and the second option was valid as originally written.
If it was me, I would try and find earlier versions from either antlr 2.x
or something or see if something turns up at ANTLR repository on github.
