What does 'input in flex scanner failed' really mean?

I am stumped by the following problem:

rogers@rgrjr> cat scanner.pir
## WTF???
.sub main :main
load_bytecode "Data/Dumper"
.end
rogers@rgrjr> ./parrot scanner.pir
input in flex scanner failed
rogers@rgrjr>

This is with vanilla r14850. I can't seem to get it to accept
load_bytecode under any circumstances. Does anyone have any clues?
MTIA,

There's a test missing, if the file is a diretory obviously.

Aha! It was not obvious to me; I was deeply confused because I thought
the IMCC scanner was complaining about scanner.pir! Thanks again,

Something like this?
