I get a similar error in the MC IDE, though the exact error description 
is a little different. The insertion point always goes to the top of the 
script even if there is nothing there. The bad token always is empty 
(i.e., the engine doesn't know what it is.) I dismiss the error dialog, 
hit the Enter key a second time, and the script compiles fine. I think 
it is an engine compile problem, since it occurs in both IDEs.

It has been bug-reported. It only seems to occur the first time you edit 
a script after opening a stack. Once you get the script to compile, it 
works fine after that until the stack is unloaded from RAM and then 
reopened again.

I see it so often in MC that I've just become accustomed to hitting the 
Enter key enough times to dismiss the dialog and close the script 
editor, and then I continue working. It's been happening, I think, since 
the release of of the 2.1 engine.
