Exactly.  I just never thought that we could support async generator expressions with the kind of hacks in tokenizer we had in 3.5-3.6.  FWIW I still believe that it's better for async & await tokens to be proper keywords, but in case we ever realize we want them to become "soft" keywords we apparently have options.
