i believe it's because EOF is not a token in the language; in Fortran, 
newlines are tokens, in a sense, because they can be used to terminate 
statements.  compilers are at least nice enough to accept EOF before 
finding the end of a statement, but i think it's good if they warn you.  
most common editors (emacs and vi on linux, at least) will usually force a 
newline character at the end of the file, unless you override it, so this 
usually isn't an issue.
