For my money, and perspective as one who has written a compiler, this reflects
a failing of the R parser. Both

cat("FALSE!!\n")
}
and
if (TRUE)
{
cat("TRUE!!\n")
}
else
{
cat("FALSE!!\n")
}
are easy to read, and should be accepted as a valid if . . . . else statement.
And if you enter
if (FALSE) {
cat("TRUE!!\n")
}
at the console, how long should it wait before it decides the else isn't
coming?
