Nothing happens.  Nano will read zero syntax files, so nothing
will get colored in any file.

The error does not stop execution.  Or do you mean that nano waits
and asks to press Return?  More recent nanos don't wait and ask that
question any more.  So, you may want to build and install 3.2.

(The error message, though, is a bit silly: Error expanding ...: Success.
That could be improved.)
