This is working as it should be. Or at least how the lexer works for a long-long time.

In JavaScript, "<!--" means a comment until the next line, (same as //)

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- comment until the next line 
/* normal comment */
--> /* parse error */ </script>

You can even reduce the test case to:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
--> or anything </script>

I will check the ECMA standard, a moment.
