The issue is described as Issue (1) here:

https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/BEGGQEU6MG7RYIY7HB4I6VQ23L6TXB6H/

Please look at "Note" just before "Issues treated" there as
well. What's mentioned in this note is also filed in this issue tracker
with ID 44983

https://bugs.python.org/issue44983


Coming back to Issue (1), the discrepancy is in the definitions of
yield_expression, return_stmt, augmented_assignment_stmt, and
for_stmt. (That is, the only exception is the definition of
subscription

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#subscriptions

making the exception look inconsistent and confusing.)

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#augmented-assignment-statements
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-for-statement
