Not a bug. RTM.
Parse errors have been improved in 4.2.0 and later.

Here is code which demonstrates this flaw.
<html><head></head><body>
testing<br>
<?
$i =10;
if ($i==10) {
print ("haha i==$i!");
// commented line <?= $blah ?>
# commented line <?= $blah ?>
}
?>
</body>
</html>
My guess is PHP hits the closing ?> in the commented line and can't
tell the difference. This results in a missing brace issue which then
causes the compiler giving the following very non descript error
message:
Parse error: parse error in /var/www/blah.php on line 19
Of course there is no line 19 which leads me to believe it is simply a
missing brace. Checking all the braces doesn't do any good though
because they all are fine. The problem is that the closing ?> of
course messes everything up. I spent about 30 minutes trying to figure
out what I had done before I realized my error. I don't know if there
is an easy way to add a check for this kind of thing but clearly if a
programmer is putting ?> in comments something is wrong and maybe the
interpreter should give another error for that.

a nicer parse error would be usefull for the error when you comment a
line that invokes <?php tags
// header("dfjdlkjfdlkjfld <?= $BLAH ?> )";
I know this isn't valid code because I'm already in <?php tags but
invoking <?= in a commented php line results in a parse error that
points to the line after the last level.
