Aha, thanks.

| 
|   ifobjc
|   %expect 32 /* shift/reduce conflicts, and 1 reduce/reduce conflict.  */
|   end ifobjc

Interestingly, that number is 31 in my local copy of objc-parse.y.
The fix you propose sounds sensible to me.  An Objective-C maintainer
cares to comment before I make that change?
