Because in Lua 5.2 there is the empty statements
http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#3
"""
3.3.1 – Blocks
A block is a list of statements, which are executed sequentially:
block ::= {stat}
Lua has empty statements that allow you to separate statements with
semicolons, start a block with a semicolon or write two semicolons in
sequence:
stat ::= ‘;’
"""
So
stat ::= if exp then block {elseif exp then block} [else block] end
means that
if exp then
;
else
;
end
is valid.
Luatex still uses lua 5.1.4
