error with empty timeout block

Here's an interesting error from Script Editor (OS 10.2.1) :

tell app "Finder"
with timeout of 1000 seconds
end timeout
end tell
beep
--> error: Can't continue beep


Which is interesting, because none of these causes an error:


tell app "Finder"
end tell
beep
--> no error

with timeout of 1000 seconds
end timeout
beep
--> no error

with timeout of 1000 seconds
tell app "Finder"
end tell
end timeout
beep
--> no error


I started testing this situation because I was seeing a strange crash with
an applet on 10.2.1 which was crashing when it came to an empty timeout
block. I suspect this construction :

with timeout of 1000 seconds
end timeout

leads to instability.
