Multiline comment parsing error on 1.11-rc3

When loaded via using from a directory on LOAD_PATH, the following code works on Julia 1.10.5, but fails on 1.11-rc3 as well on nightly (02549d5c54e):

#=
Demonstrate a parsing error when 
using multiline comments on Julia 1.11-rc3
^^^^^
   This `using` word makes 1.11-rc3 believe that 
there is a `using` statement before the module
declaration when the code is loaded from a directory
on LOAD_PATH
=#
module UsingError
main()=println("Hi there!")
end

This is the error message:
