In fact, here is what I found...

green in Safari and Opera (not FireFox):
    @1; div { color:green; }
or:
    @1 []; div { color:green; }

green in Opera only:
    @1 [{}]; div { color:green; }

green in Opera only (with ALL subsequent rules seemingly ignored in  
Safari and FireFox):
@media all {
    @
}
div { color:green; }

green in Opera and Safari (with ALL subsequent rules seemingly  
ignored in FireFox):
    @1 { [ }
    	div { color:green;}

on this last one, adding a "]" or ";"  anywhere after the first "}"  
does not seem to help FireFox recover.

I should mention that this is with FireFox 3.0b2, and a nightly  
download of Webkit, 3.0.4 (523.12.2). I don't have IE handy here, so  
I don't know how it responds.
