Actually, the error doesn't seem to have anything to do with anonymous delegates or lamda expressions. If you try to compile the following program ...

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Action t = delegate
        {
            int i = 0;
        };

        int i = 1;
    }
}

... you get exactly the same error, no matter whether you comment in the line or not. The error help shows a very similar case. I think it is reasonable to disallow both cases on the grounds that programmers could confuse the two variables.
