the "missing trailing newline may cause errors for multiline statements" is
documented behaviour; from the compile() docs:

    "When compiling multi-line statements, two caveats apply: line
    endings must be represented by a single newline character ('\n'),
    and the input must be terminated by at least one newline character."

see the codeop.py sources for library code that depends on this behaviour.
