Welcome to the wonderful world of XHTML:

  http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8

And the even more wonderful world of XHTML that masquerades as HTML
with extra /s:

  http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_4
  http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml

(Short answer: The validator is right, it shouldn't ignore <
characters in script elements in your document).
