"No terminal matches '|' in the current parser context" when parsing multi-line conditional #142

I have the following Terraform local:

my_local = {
    for k, v in local.map_a : k => v
    if lookup(local.map_b[v.id], "enabled", false)
    || (
      contains(local.map_c, v.id)
      && contains(local.map_d, v.id)
    )
  }

It returns the following error when I attempt to parse the file:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/lark/lexer.py", line 590, in lex
    yield lexer.next_token(lexer_state, parser_state)
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    * COLON

    * /\/\/.*\n/
    * LPAR
    * COMMA
    * RPAR
Previous tokens: Token('__ANON_0', '\n')

I can fix this by moving the entire local on to a single line, or adjusting it like this:

my_local = {
    for k, v in local.map_a : k => v
    if lookup(local.map_b[v.id], "enabled", false) || (
      contains(local.map_c, v.id) && (
      contains(local.map_d, v.id))
    )
  }

Seems like as long as I put || or && at the start or end of a line it produces this error.
