Quite. I think other errors might cause the same problem, but I haven't tested
it further now. On the other hand, I have meantime recalled I've bumped into
this before, see please also the forwarded message below, which remained
unanswered since I dumbly posted into users, not dev.

I see. On the other hand, with a normal non-closure block the error is reported
properly:
===
1039 ocs /tmp> /usr/local/groovy-4.0.21/bin/groovy q
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
/private/tmp/q.groovy: 1: Unexpected input: '{ bar())' @ line 1, column 15.
if (0) { bar()) }
^
1 error
1040 ocs /tmp>
