Seems it was fixed in #96052.
This was not fixed.

I got a warning with 3.12.0a1, but not with 3.11.0. I assume it will be fixed in 3.11.1 and this can remained closed.
I confirm that the fix is not in Python 3.11.0 final: you will have to wait for Python 3.11.1 bugfix release.
Python 3.11.0 has the bug (raise SyntaxError):

Bug report
In the example below, the normal interpreter only emits a SyntaxWarning which, upon execution, gives rise to a TypeError, whereas code.interact() gives a SyntaxError right away.
In addition to the above, I have been able to reproduce this with Python 3.9 and 3.10, but not with earlier Python versions.
