The problem is that a block statement is ambiguous with an object initialiser. See http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:arrow_function_syntax#grammar_changes in particular the "To enable unparenthesized ObjectLiteral expressions as bodies of arrow functions, without ambiguity with Block bodies, restrict LabelledStatement as follows..." section.
