10.8 Internal Representation of Records
Record expressions are translated to tuple expressions during
compilation. A record defined as
-record(Name, {Field1,...,FieldN}).
is internally represented by the tuple
{Name,Value1,...,ValueN}
where each ValueI is the default value for FieldI.

I don't have any opinion on whether this syntax should be allowed or
not, but parser should not fail on second notation in such case.
MHO.
