The error also gets the line number wrong (way off sometimes).
I just had this error saying unclosed INDENT on line 7, where the "extra bracket" (and the problem) was actually on line 23.
Line 7 was merely the beginning of the function that the call was made in.

+1. its pretty hard to debug such an errors.

Closing this issue as it doesn’t appear to be affecting enough people to warrant attention. If someone wants to do further investigation into this and can devise a fix, a pull request is welcome.
