I think the focus shouldn't be on whether such syntax is possibly confusing or

a) People will always remember that's *either* one way or the other
No, they won't.
b) It's actually pretty easy to remember which way it is, by just considering
that a syntax feature exists for scenarios that can't be easily solved
otherwise.
They also exist for scenarios that are easily resolved, but also easily gotten
wrong:
x += 1
instead of
x = x + 1
I can easily see
for this in some_iter:
...
except ValueError():
..
as being syntactic sugar for
for this in some_iter:
try:
...
except ValueError():
...
as it can easily save several levels of indenting.
