My understanding is that in QML script blocks are implicit functions, and
the above should be simply a more concise version of:

Text {
    function foobar() {
        if (condition)
            return "A";
        return "B";
    }

    text: foobar()
}

Note that there's also a third valid version:

Text {
    text: {
        if (condition)
             "A"
        else
             "B"
     }
}

where the last evaluated statement is used as return value. This is
specially useful for one-liners like the one below.

Text {
      text: condition ? "A" : "B"
}

Cheers,
Eduardo
