I'm fairly certain that this is by design -- scripts are disabled for a document
being edited, more or less.

Hmm, I think you're right, seeing as the editor is very likely to encounter
scripts not designed with editing in mind. Also if you *really* need to do
something like this, you can always put the editable document in an iframe and
just use setInterval/setTimeout on the parent document instead.

I believe this bug should be resolved as invalid.  If someone disagrees feel
free to comment and reopen.
