This bug was introduced with issue 2061 (zope-2.9.3). The '\n'.join(body.splitlines()) dance removes the last newline. This, in turn, causes the failure of the restricted python compiler. I have no idea, why the last newline is necessary, but adding it, makes the example working again.

See attached patch.

A bare conditional in a python script followed by a comment causes a syntax error.  This same code is legal python.

Example:
if False:
  pass
#hi
