Probably because case has branches which actually return a value (even
if it is fall through and nil). Interestingly enough this does not
work with if:
11:07:59 ~$ ruby19 -c x.rb
x.rb:7: void value expression
11:08:04 ~$ cat -n x.rb
1
2 def a
3 x =3D if rand(10) =3D=3D 0
4 99
5 else
6 return 55
7 end
8 end
11:08:07 ~$
Could be that you have found a loophole in the parser logic. :-)

I'd say stop using this idiom. If you use a "case" expression because
it should yield a value (i.e. "x =3D case...end") then I would only use
exceptions as other way out. A "return" indicates regular execution
flow which in the case of this usage of "case" would mean "have case
return a value" but not "return from the method".
If you use "case" as a control flow construct (i.e. without assigning
the result) then a "return" inside is OK and Ruby will also accept it.
Same goes for "if".
Kind regards
