This was fixed as a side-effect of bug #46995 (as best as I can tell--it definitely works now).

This happens with macros as well:

make_target = $(call ${0}_,$(strip ${1}),$(strip ${2}))

define make_target_ =
$(eval ${1}.cc := $(wildcard *.cc))
$(eval ${1}.o  := ${${1}.cc:%.cc=%.o})
$(eval ${1} : ${${1}.o})
endef

# this will cause the same "missing separator" error
$(call make_target, my_thing)

When I run make-4.1 with the attached makefile I get the following error

bug7.mk:5: * missing separator.  Stop.

This behavior looks inconsistent, because expanding variable D should give two empty lines, which should then be ignored by make.
Such problem could be avoided by inserting a continue statement at read.c:1509, as shown below.

      /* If the line doesn't begin with a tab, test to see if it introduces
         another define, or ends one.  Stop if we find an 'endef' */
      if (line[0] != cmd_prefix)
        {
          p = next_token (line);
          len = strlen (p);
          if (!len) continue; /* skip empty lines */
