Yes, it has that warning, but "default off".

Trying "movd eax,mm0" does give "error: parser: instruction expected". So it's only instructions with no operands that have this problem (e.g. salc). I always disliked orphan labels, but I guess it's meant to avoid directives from (semi-)compatible code?? NASM seemingly always disliked red-tape "bureaucracy" (from MASM/TASM).
