This bug came up because we were asking the V8 team to change their errors to match JSC (to minimize chromium layout test differences).  They noted that in this case their error is "better".  I agree, that at least the "unexpected token" part is nice.

In then end, I don't personally care which engine's messages they both converge on, but it would unfork about a zillion layout test results if they were made identical.

In the case of this bug, v8 can change to be identical to JSC here, however I think JSC should probably also consider adding information about exact location of the syntax error.
