Yes, this is a bug.  Workaround: Remove any whitespace after EOF;

Well, I don't see why it is a bug. Text marker should be strict to not be mixed with the text. Language statements rarely need spaces after them, while texts do. That means, you can do text containing EOF; on the start of the line, just by adding space to it. Are you sure it's a bug?

OK. That, so it is not a bug, but a feature ;-)
Sorry, for stealing your time :(
