Discovered while playing with Rakudo JVM, with a typo at the prompt:
$ install-jvm/bin/perl6 --version
This is perl6 version 2013.08-28-g9faa301 built on JVM
$ install-jvm/bin/perl6
> sub f { ) { } # note the accidental open-brace
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling <unknown file>
Unable to parse expression in block; couldn't find final '}'
at <unknown file>:1
------> sub f { ⏏) { } # note the accidental open-brace
expecting any of:
statement list
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling <unknown file>

[forever and ever, amen]
I was NOT able to reproduce the above behavior running on Parrot, or
when the code was in a file. So, for example:
$ cat test.pl6
sub f { ) { }
$ install-jvm/bin/perl6 test.pl6
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling test.pl6
Unable to parse expression in block; couldn't find final '}'
at test.pl6:1
------> sub f { ⏏) { }
expecting any of:
statement list
$
