(PLEASE) correct me if I'm wrong, but on the "Initializer" rule 
at the line with ExpInitializer should not have a colon after it. 
Just spent many hours troubleshooting and I believe my problem is 
that. Can someone confirm or show an example where the colon is 
correctly applied in the language?

Yes, definitely looks like a documentation bug. In all other places, 
there is always another symbol on the right hand side.

Cool, is there some place to make an issue for it? Don't want any 
unsuspecting goobers like me falling for it :P.

Try the two links at the top of each page: "Report a bug" and "Improve 
this page"

People who read those pages down to every colon deserve to suffer. :o) 
(Actually, I think you implied that one of your tools is parsing that page.)
