Of course, I knew the XHTML syntax was not compatible but had not fully thought
through it's impact when element's parent was the head. Although not immediately
obvious the reference to problems caused by "implicitly closed element" does
indeed explain the nature of the problem.

Final thought - would some form of "Possible instance of XHTML syntax used in
error" type of "warning" (as opposed to error) be both possible and desirable?
