		print m
	end sub.toStr().tokenize(" ")[1])

	m.top.id = "test"

Research direction

Start by running the BrightScript snippet from the issue through bsc and compare its syntax-error behavior with the device. Trace how the parser handles a call chained after an anonymous function's end marker. Done means the snippet compiles consistently and a regression test covers this case.
