I also think that it is the best.

with

@itemize A @bullet and more
@end itemize

the same error message is obtained:
b.texi:2: @bullet expected braces

If @asis is followed by a new line and no brace you also get the 'must
not be followed by new line' message (+ expected brace message).
With:

some @asis
g

the error messages are:
b.texi:5: warning: command `@asis' must not be followed by new line
b.texi:6: @asis expected braces

I guess that it is because the @bullet is followed by an @item that
there is not an expected braces messages, with the following:

BB @bullet
N.

there are the two messages:
b.texi:8: warning: command `@bullet' must not be followed by new line
b.texi:9: @bullet expected braces



I think that the "must not be followed by new line" message is for cases
with braces but a new line following the command:

some @asis
{asis argument}.

BB @bullet
 {} N.


It may be possible to suppress the "must not be followed by new line" message
if there are no braces, but it would probably be a bit complicated to
implement.
