A semicolon in any script is interpreted as a line ending, except when 
within quotation marks. If the example failed (where the semicolon is 
within the quotes) then that would be a problem with the scripts that 
interpret the message box content.

That said, it is very tricky to implement code correctly in all cases 
from the message box because of the "do" statements and other 
contortions it needs to use. Ideally, tests should always be conducted 
from the script editor where the intermediate interpretive layer isn't 
present.
