The 2.4 binder/shrouder is known to have some bugs like that.
The 2.4 binder has its own parser, that is quite different,
and sometimes less correct, than the parser used in the 2.4 
interpreter. The differences show up in fairly unusual 
cases - maybe some weird syntax, or some special case of 
the namespace feature.

The 2.5 binder/shrouder uses the exact same scanner, parser, 
symbol lookup etc. as the 2.5 interpreter, so errors like this 
would be extremely unlikely, and none have been reported.

I don't support 2.4 anymore, but if I had a bug like that I would
try to eliminate anything unusual that I was doing in the source
that might be causing problems for the binder.
