Entering Multi-Property Object in Dev Console Throws Error

I've encountered some behavior in the Chrome Dev Console (and Firebug) that I don't quite understand...

If I enter a multi-property JSON object directly into the console, I get the following error:

The result I would expect is that the object would be returned exactly as I entered it, much like as if I were to directly enter a String or Number value.

Note, this is a different result then if I were to enter a single-property object:

What's going on here? Why is it throwing a SyntaxError?
