The line with the error is probably tagged as a line with an error, but since it doesn't execute, it just skips silently over it. Which probably explains why I used to catch compile errors at run time, when I didn't have "compile when saved" on. I actually still don't turn it on - now I have a little prg which compiles an app and runs it, so any compile errors are caught then.
