I agree with your reading of the spec.

Normally I would say we should change the spec to match. However, note https://github.com/whatwg/dom/pull/449 and the various issues linked from there; web developers would really like it if the rules were more permissive. (Although I think what they really want is for the DOM APIs to accept at least a superset of the HTML parser; I haven't checked what the HTML parser does with your example.) So, maybe we could take this as an opportunity to solve that long-standing issue? :)
