Bug in CF11 regarding Query of queries syntax?

So I have decided to try CF11 because of an official outstanding CF10 bug.

Once I installed CF11, I get an error when running code like this:

<cfquery name="LOCAL.stat_questions" datasource="#APPLICATION.dsn#">

     SELECT     survey_questionID

     FROM     tbl_survey_questions

     ;

</cfquery>

<cfset LOCAL.this_statID = 1>

<cfquery name="LOCAL.subset" dbtype="query">

     SELECT     survey_questionID

     FROM          [LOCAL].stat_questions

     WHERE     survey_questionID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" value="#LOCAL.this_statID#">

     ;

</cfquery>

The error I receive is: "Query Of Queries syntax error.
  Encountered ";. "

If I remove the semi-colon... No error! Is this a bug, or was the semi-colon always bad, but just ignored?

Thanks
