It does appear, from that description, that the error is in error.
But, just on a lark, look to see if you have "{$" inside a string somewhere.
Curly bracket followed by a dollar sign tells PHP that it's a complex,
inline variable.
So, if you that, it could produce the error you describe, without raising
the alarm with your bracket-checker.
