Yes, reproduced.

using debugger to catch the original throw, I got that stack of calls:

unwinding the calls, seems the parser encountered a '#' with either 'declare' or
'local', and we are parsing the right side of '='

It's an object, a merge containing a difference but the inner object failed to be
parsed. (at #4, Object = Parse_Object(); Object is 0x0)
