Is this intentional? I think it would be better to allow for 2). Attached is a
patch.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Verified that attached patch resolves the problem mentioned by you.
Ran the regression to ensure that it should not break any existing syntax.

Although this is minor bug, but IMO it will improve consistency among \
commands, because other works fine with ";"
