(I know this bug was reported, but it wasn't fixed)
Let's say, I want have this piece of code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.php" />
It won't work if I have DOCTYPE on my page (doesn't matter if it is HTML or XHTML)
If I want to get it to work I have either:
1. Remove DOCTYPE
2. Change css.php to style.css
This bug is also present on Windows XP.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Paste this into foo.html (for example):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN\"
\"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd\">
<html>
<head>
<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"css.php\" />
</head>
<body>Hello World</body>
</html>
2. Paste this into css.php:
html, body { background-color: #555588; }
Actual Results:  
CSS didn't load. Page had white background.

Expected Results:  
CSS should load. Page should have blue background.
Oops, made a mistake. There are \ before ". These should be removed. It's
because I copied it directly from PHP source. Sorry. =)

Verify that the media type of style.php is text/css.
If it's not the case, this bug should be INVALID.

See <http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/quirklist.html> : the
text/css MIME-extension is mandatory in standards mode, but not in quirksmode
(which is triggered when DOCTYPE is missing). You didn't menion what the DOCTYPE
was, but it was probably a standrad one (see
<http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/doctypes.html>).
Since your css.php does not have:
  header('Content-Type: text/css;');
..this is surely invalid.
