It seems that according to §10.1.2 and §12.9 of the ECMAScript Language Spec,
return statements are only valid in the context of a FunctionBody. An eval
statement is the equivalent of script executing in the context of a global
scope, and as such "return" is invalid. So even though this is a regression in
the sense that release Safari does not complain, the ToT behavior is the
correct behavior for specification conformance.

I additionally tested the script in Firefox and IE7, and both browsers
similarly complained about a return statement outside of a function. So given
the behavior of other browsers and the spec, this bug should probably be
resolved as invalid.
