My example had no semicolon, not before, not after.

LI>     for name [ [in [words …] ] ; ] do commands; done

                                   ^^^ see, that semicolon is optional.
                                   That's what the extra brackets mean.

LI> So Emacs seems to do the correct thing here; closing.

Well, yes, if everybody always used the optional semicolon, you might say.
