Looks like a minor prettyprinter bug. (It thinks that it has found
something weird in the abstract syntax tree, and marks it up in a
funny way to make it more visible, but that makes the code impossible
to parse back. But the syntax tree was actually correct.)

However, I think that has been fixed in recent releases. What version
of Erlang/OTP are you using?
