let form in do block requires in?

According to the 2010 Haskell spec the following should be equivalent: do1 = do { let x = 3.14 ; return x } and do2 = let x = 3.14 in do { return x }

But ghc 7.6.3 chokes on the first (do1) with "parse error on input '}'" On the other hand, if I use layout and set do3 = do

let x = 3.14 return x

there is no problem. Also, the compiler doesn't complain if I insert "in" in place of the semicolon in do1 (but this doesn't seem to follow the spec).
