Is the terminal text meant to be "?SYNTAX ERROR" in "Square Root"?

In the level "Square Root" of VVVVVV, I activated the terminal, and the following text appeared: "?SYNTAX ERROR". This is vastly different from the terminal text in the rest of the game and seems to indicate an actual syntax error bug in this version of VVVVVV. I'm playing the Steam version on Windows 8.

For reference, I've included an image of the terminal text above, and an image of the map below (the white box in the bottom left corner of the map is the location of "Square Root".)

Is this supposed to be the terminal text, and if not, what is the terminal text supposed to be?
