TAB (translated from <tab>) runs the command indent-for-tab-command,
Its messages,
forward-sexp: Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses", 1970, 1
would be improved if they could also mention line numbers and not just
apparently byte numbers. E.g.,
Unbalanced parentheses at line 34 column 33.

Traditionally TAB does not signal an error for unbalanced parentheses.
It may indirectly signal such a problem by indenting to "a weird place".
IOW, please tell us in which case you got the above error, so we can
catch it and turn it into a non-error.

I recall it was when I was editing a perl program, so try with perl
mode... But anyway I think it would be better to catch such errors.

Hmm... catch them and do what? Such a signal means that's a coding
error somewhere in the indentation code, so hiding the signal is not
a good idea.

OK, this file.pl
{}}
}(
}
triggers the bug. Do C-x h TAB.
Also the message should say "Help report this bug in xxx.el!" else people
will think it is an error in their perl file.

Thanks for the simple test case. I installed the patch below which
should fix those problems.
