Mozilla is fixing up that tag-soup in what is IMO a bad way.

That's a bit harsh, innit?

Perhaps, I'm of the opinion any fix up it can do is good.

There was an issue in NN4 whereby it had similar fix-up bad code, and
it managed to execute a script placed on the page to demonstrate a
script not to use which locked up the browser - see
comp.lang.javascript archives a long time ago for me and Danny Goodman
in discussion.

Not explicitly ensuring script is closed is something I feel a bit
dodgy.

Moz's parser is basically XML, and its
handling of HTML is by normalisation-to-XHTML.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

Jim.
