I can't find your error message suggestion (you said you were providing
one in your subject line). Where is it?

The validator was last updated almost three weeks ago, and that was
very minor changes.

Oh dear.
Three things you should probably read.
1. What the HTML 4 specification has to say about comments (it applies
to XHTML too).
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.4>
2. What the XHTML 1.0 specification says about <script> and <style>
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8>
3. What Ian Hixie has to say about XHTML served as text/html (which I
assume you are doing as you aren't complaining about your JavaScript
not working).
