The validator is only showing the source it received. If, for some reason, your server did not send the 
same document it serves e.g browsers, it's your server's faul, not the validator's.

You probably misread the validator's error here (although, since you are not giving a URI, it's hard to 
tell). Most likely the validator said "there should be a </select> here and there isn't". This is very 
different.

The difference in error numbers can have many causes, very likely irrelevant to your bug report. Just 
check whether both versions show the same source when you check the "show source box.
