This is a known problem: if there is a grammar error in the last two
tokens, the yacc skeleton can't cope.  Its rule is to skip down three
tokens before attempting error recovery, but instead it sees EOF and
stops parsing, causing the last token or two to be quietly ignored.
Another result of abusing error recovery.
