I've seen cases where run-on quotes or braces have fooled the parser quite
badly.
also, you should be aware that if you start rsyslog with rsyslogd -o
/path/to/file then file will contain the result of all the includes (i.e. the
way that rsyslog sees the configs) which can be very helpful in troubleshooting
cases where it's not doing what you expect.

why is it like this? Is there no way to programmatically lint these files?

when I have this problem, I just start at the beginning, search for double
quotes and step through the entire file (don't forget included files) and then I
do it again for single quotes.
I've had the actual error be 20+ lines earlier than the first reported issue.

Yup, encountered that problem before which is why I included what I hoped would
be enough char/lines before the indicated one. Iʼve stared at this in Nano so
long Iʼm going cross-eyed.
I donʼt have anyone else who knows the format to even ask for their eyes..

that sort of error typically means that somewhere prior to this line there are
mismatched quotes, sometimes far before.
