tracker issue : CF-4205251

Problem Description:

Nested implicit structures in an argument in an IF statement are throwing an error post CF 2016 update 12 & Java update.

Was on 2016 Update 11 with Java 1.8.0_191

This breaks on update to CF2016 Java 1.8.0_211 or 191

Steps to Reproduce:
{code:java}
 <cffunction name="getHello">
   <cfargument name="anArgument">
   <cfreturn "hello" >
 </cffunction>
 <!--- disclaimer - yes this is quite wonky code... lets not talk about that... --->
 <!--- DOES NOT WORK, But did before Updating to CF2016 Update 11 -> CF2016 Update 12 & Java 1.8.0_191 -> Java 1.8.0_211 --->
 <cfoutput>
  <cfset somethingElse = 1>
  <cfif 1 EQ 1>
   #getHello(
     anArgument = {
       key =
          { anotherKey = somethingElse }
     }
   )#
  <cfelse>
     something else
  </cfif>
 </cfoutput>{code}
 
{code:java}
 <!--- A fix, remove the variable and directly assign ---> 
 <cfoutput>
   <cfset somethingElse = 1> 
   <cfif 1 EQ 1>
     #getHello(
       anArgument = {
       key = { anotherKey = 1 }
       }
     )#
   <cfelse>
     something else
 </cfif>
 </cfoutput>
{code}
{code:java}
 <!--- A fix, remove the else case --->
 <cfoutput>
   <cfset somethingElse = 1> 
   <cfif 1 EQ 1>
      #getHello(
      anArgument = {
       key = { anotherKey = somethingElse }
     }
    )#
   </cfif>
 </cfoutput>{code}
Actual Result:

error

Expected Result:

hello hello hello

Any Workarounds:

remove the IF statement or assign the variable directly instead of referencing it
