Ok, it makes sense to have the same behaviour for except and finally blocks then. As for the syntax error, I'm still not convinced. The point of Py3k is to change semantics: people should expect some incompatible changes. Also the previous behaviour was rather under-specified, so it could be considered a bug. And it seems to me syntax errors should be used to guard against potential syntax mistakes, not semantic subtleties.
