why does $$(shell bomb with a semicolon during SECONDEXPANSION?

Hello,

Why does this bomb: 

.SECONDEXPANSION:
foobar: $$(shell echo prereq;)
        touch $@


>make foobar
makefile:2: *** unterminated call to function `shell': missing `)'.  Stop.



Without the ";" it is fine.  Why?  (I need the ; for the real, larger, file, 
here it is just the SSCCE)

Thank you,

Mark
