Well, in their defence in compilers and parsers in general is not always easy to recover and come up with a meaningful error message 
Say after ‘then’, if you don’t open a block, there can only be a single statement… no idea how they treat annotations but for the parser is probably just yet another ‘statement’, only that it probably doesn’t even expect annotation statement to be a valid single statement. Aka, annotation is not of that kind but maybe a special kind of statement that parser only expect in a block so it tries to parse that as a ‘single statement’ - trying simple assignment, execute statement, etc in one particular order and when all fails it has to give an error only there was not even a partial match there so it’s probably just using the error from last attempt. Damn, I’m already probably using ‘probably’ too much so will probably stop here
