Can anyone give me an example of this type of error that gets flagged in the source editor.
NetBeans simulates what the ERb tool will do in a Rails server; it will generate Ruby from it, then parse that Ruby, and any errors in that generated Ruby will then be shown - in the ERb file, at the ERb location corresponding to the place in the temporarily generated Ruby file where the parsing error occurred.
I think in 99% of cases (possibly 100% of cases), the errors will be a plain Ruby code error in your own scriptlet, e.g.
<div>
<% x = "unterminated string %>
</div>
