Missing # from #-} elicits utterly opaque error

Consider this in Foo.hs

	module Foo where
	{-# LINE 1 "Baz.hs" -}

Notice the missing #

GHC 6.3 (HEAD, 30 Oct 2003) gives the message:

       Baz.hs:0: lexical error

This is extremely opaque; after all, the error is in Foo.  
And it would help to know the offending token.
