I don't know if it's documented but it makes sense if you consider
these examples:
% print "${foo:-bar}baz"
barbaz
% print "${foo:-bar}baz}"
barbaz}
% print "${foo:-{bar}baz}"
{barbaz}
"{" isn't special on its own unless it is preceded by "$". Thus, the
first "}" encountered after "${" marks the end of the expansion.
Roman.
