Compiler debug or undocumented limitation?

This code will not compile, despite the manual saying that an expression is valid: 

D A         S        1a     Dim( 100 )
D B         S        1a     Dim( 25 )
D Idx       S        5u0

 /Free
   FOR Idx = 1 TO %Elem( A ) / %Elem( B ) ;
   ENDFOR ;
   *INLR = *On ;
 /End-Free

 Changing this line from:

   FOR Idx = 1 TO %Elem( A ) / %Elem( B ) ;

 to:

   FOR Idx = 1 TO %Div( %Elem( A ): %Elem( B )) ;
satisfies the compiler. Adding parentheses to the first example doesn't help. Can someone explain why the first one is invalid?
