[MIB Designer] Odd syntax check from MIB compiler on single character description

I get the following error when checking MIB syntax:

------ genCSM2.mi2 ------
genCSM2.mi2 #1: [1000] Syntax error: Encountered "\"x\"" at line 3517,
column 13: 
Was expecting one of: 
  "\"\"" ...
   ...
 

The OID in question just has an "x" for a description, like "TBD". This
doesn't happen on any more verbose descriptions. Here is the OID from
the MIB:

     adGenCSMMonitorCounterHistoryTxCells OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX        Counter32
        MAX-ACCESS    read-only
        STATUS        current
        DESCRIPTION
            "x"
         ::= { adGenCSMMonitorCounterHistoryEntry 1 }

Any ideas?

Phil
