The test is served as text/html, so a regular HTML parser is used. In HTML, there are no self-closing tags, so <title/> is equivalent to <title>.

The change in behavior that you observe is due to strict compliance to HTML5, and is expected. Other HTML5 compliant browsers (like Firefox) do the same.
