I can replicated this as well. It appears to only happen with new classes. My older classes that have similar code seem to save fine.

Code:
public class listTest{

List<Integer> myList = new List<Integer>();
myList.add(23);

}

Error: Compile Error: unexpected token: myList.add at line 4 column 1

The error message is very misleading, but the actual problem is that you can't have code in a class, it has to be in a method. e.g.

public class listTest{

public void intList {
List myList = new List();
myList.add(23);
}

}

What about visualforce controllers? I definitely have code in the class and they work fine.

Edit: Duh, I have variables defined in the class but no code. I should have caught that.
