actually I tried it and the output suprised me also
it was
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';'
in /var/www/tests/kukactest1.php on line 1

although I tried it with the unary operator !
<?php ! ?>
that produces the same output

so this behaviour is probably the way operators behave...
but it is really interesting ;)
