Thanks for the report.  I'm sorry it didn't work as expected.

I have reproduced this and will fix it.  I agree that this is a
serious bug and I will try to get it fixed in a stable update.

I'm afraid I don't have a clear workaround for you right now but I
will send you one as soon as I do.

Yes.  I may change the syntax too to remove the `;` from the SERIAL,
but that's not entirely trivial since I would want it to be backward
compatible.
