Why would we do this? The else-part is required to have parenthesis because of the ambiguity, but as far as I can see there is no way you could have an ambiguity for the assignment in the then-part.

It’s not about ambiguity, it’s about consistency.

I don't see why we need to limit something just for the sake of consistency. The limitation on the then-part is put in place because of the possibility of ambiguous cases. Since the then-part is always unambiguous, no limitation is put in place. I find that the argument of consistency is not valid in this case. Therefore, my suggestion is to close this as "WONTFIX".
