ambiguity="explicit" returns None

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

When I set ambiguity=“explicit”, it returns None when parsing. Not setting it makes it parse normally

To Reproduce

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
Initial author: Bryan Hu.

The main program that will run.
"""
from pathlib import Path

import lark

here = Path(__file__).parent
lark_grammar = Path(here / "grammar.lark")

parser = lark.Lark(lark_grammar.read_text(), ambiguity="explicit")
DOC = R"""
func main (argv:List<Str>, argc: int) {
    obj Greeter {
        private var _name
        var name: property<Str>
        func init(name: str) -> Void {
            self._name = name
            self.name = property(
                get=(func() -> Str {return self._name})
            )
        }
        func __str__() -> Str {
            return "hello, " + self._name
        }
    }
    if not (len(argv) > 1) {
        print("You gotta give me a name")
    } else {
        var maing: Greeter = Greeter(argv[1])
        print(maing)
    }

}
"""
print(parser.parse(DOC).pretty())

And the very ambiguous, nondeterministic grammar (still trying to reduce ambiguity):

If that is impossible, provide clear steps to reproduce the behavior.
