Well, the latter generates a syntax complaint:

regression=# drop table j;
ERROR:  table "j" does not exist
regression=# drop table ;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near ";" at character 12
LINE 1: drop table ;
                   ^
regression=#

Maybe the pattern is "any multi-line error message causes a problem"?
