This is expected behavior. Not a bug.

To be clearer, the web is full of junk and browsers get blamed when they don't
render it. Because this document has no DOCTYPE we use "quirks" mode where we
are very accepting. If you use a proper DOCTYPE we will interpret the page
strictly according to standard.

In no way a security problem
