Bug in Removing db Challenge Task?

Hi all, Have tried everything I can think of - no luck yet. Challenge task 1 answer is

drop database movie_db;

Instructions say to keep the code from Task 1 when adding answer to task 2, yielding:

drop database movie_db;
drop database movie_db if exists;

However, when running Task 2 - kicks back an error: "Task 1 is no longer parsing"... If Task 1 answer actually results in movie_db being dropped, then this makes sense... you're keeping a command to drop a database that no longer exists (without the 'if exists' conditional). However, if you answer Task 2 with only the conditional command, you still get the parsing error. Is this a bug? Any help much appreciated!
