From lparse.c:609

static void funcargs (LexState *ls, expdesc *f) {
  FuncState *fs = ls->fs;
  expdesc args;
  int base, nparams;
  int line = ls->linenumber;
  switch (ls->t.token) {
    case '(': {  /* funcargs -> `(' [ explist1 ] `)' */
      if (line != ls->lastline)
        luaX_syntaxerror(ls,"ambiguous syntax (function call x new  
statement)");


.....

That if checks and fails if there is newline before '(' where function  
arguments are expected
Example file:
======8<==========8<=========
print
(1)
======8<==========8<=========
