JSP expression "syntax error" bug?

Hey guys.. I have a JSP based app that I'm editing in build 655 and for some reason the following code in my JSP is being marked as an error:

<%= foo.baz() %>

The editor is highlighting the space after the equals sign and giving a "Expression Expected" error. As you can see, the expression is foo.baz() but the syntax checker doesn't like that space. As far as I can tell from the Sun JSP docs, the space is fine and they use a space in their own examples. If I remove the space, like this:

<%=foo.baz() %>

then the syntax error goes away. Any idea why it would see that as an error? It's quite annoying having all of these errors highlighted in my JSP's and having to go through and check them all to make sure I don't REALLY have an error in my JSP.
