Er, yes.  This should proxy-release on the main thread, because there's no guarantee about which thread a runnable is destroyed on.
Looks like a standard "runnable that doesn't realize its dtor can run on either thread" bug.

Untested, but like so.

I suspect the reason we haven't seen this before is that processing the script takes a while.  At shutdown we probably skip that.  This could in theory be exploitable.

What if the runnable never runs?
During shutdown?  Just because the thread gets shut down before it gets a chance to?
More verbosely, NS_DispatchToMainThread works until after xpcom-shutdown-threads ... and I really hope the JS engine is joining threads that could call into Gecko by then ...

[Feature/regressing bug #]: Bug 906371
[User impact if declined]: Possible crashes/security issues
[Describe test coverage new/current, TBPL]: This is the script loading path, it's pretty well tested.
[Risks and why]: Low risk.  This makes us explicitly release things on the thread we already virtually always release them on.
[String/UUID change made/needed]: None.

Approving now for Beta since we only have one beta this week and it would be best to have this in the build, out there getting tested by users.
