Okay, now that I've tested it, I see that it's a parser error, NOT a  
VM error:

Slate 1> #(1 2 3) do: {1. 2. 3}.
The method #applyTo: was not found for the following arguments:
{{...}. {...}}

So basically the problem is that a block header in an unexpected  
lexical context (specifically, a literal array, since I can't  
reproduce it in a couple of other situations) is not handled right  
and should be fixed. I'll see if I can fix this, but no guarantees.
