I believe what he's saying is that do { ... } requires the reader to
scan down far enough to see if there is a while or an if at the end.
(I think I'd be scared of someone who doesn't always read that
thoroughly just out of habit. ;-)
No, I wouldn't ever write a multi-line do { ... } with a trailing if.
But dictating style would be un-Perl-like.
