The problem is the compiler associates the else with the if..then and 
not with the case statement. All your fixes break the possible 
connection between the else and the if..then and that's why they work.

Your first fix (to just add a semicolon) would be my preferred one. I 
have lots of code that is written that way. I'm not sure why you think 
this is "strictly incorrect".
