reporting of "{x" non ideal

[Dan Jacobson]

$ test a||{false;true;}&&echo $?
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `&'

 1021  test a||{false;true;}&&echo $?
 1022  test a||{false;true;} &&echo $?
 1023  test a||{false;true;}|wc
 1024  test a|{false;true;}|wc
 1025  {false;true;}|wc
 1026  test a||{ false;true;}&&echo $? #oh, ok
