With the latest push to devel bash now accepts `if ! [[ ... ]] then

Technically not; they're pipelines.
So, if the last component of a pipeline is a compound command, a separator
between the pipeline and `then', `fi', `do', `done', or `esac' is optional,
It's really a reserved word that terminates a command that makes the
closing `esac' optional.
but a pipeline alone can not be a function body no matter what.
Correct. The POSIX grammar makes this fairly clear, its issues with
`rule 4' aside.
