Well, got it.  This is a problem in the new parser proper.
The way cp_parser_nested_name_specifier_opt and cp_parser_id_expressions
are working does not look right to me.  I think 
cp_parser_nested_name_specifier_opt is being too greedy and not enough careful.
By the time we issue the misleading diagnostic, we are in
cp_parser_unqualified_id and the token we peek is the semicolon ending
the class definition.  We should have been there much much earlier.
Deferring this to Mark.
