Admitted, this is a page probably designed to be difficult, but still, why can't
"view source" not just show what currently is rendered?

Reproducible: Always
Viewing the page source with selecting all the stuff and using "View Selection
Source" reveals this comment: 

"<!-- {} #css { color: red; } --><!-- referer is || --><!-- when referer is the
same as the value of the href attribute below,
       this script will return a stylesheet instead of an HTML page. -->"

INVALID?
but this is not the true source.

I guess you get closer to the true source when using 

  lynx

and the use the "\"
When reporting a bug, please use a recent build, preferably, a nightly
(http://www.mozilla.org/developer).

If you are unable to utilize a nightly, at least download 1.0.5 which has been
released recently.
Correction: If you are unable to use a nightly, download 1.0.6 (more recent
branch build), not 1.0.5
Apologies, got 1.0.6 now and the problem is still there.

Before manually getting the 1.0.6, tried to use my Software-Update from 1.0.4
that reported "no updates available" (hope this bug is fixed by now...)
Yes, the updater not seeing the new version is a known issue.

I do not know if this instance is a feature or not. However, by using the method
in comment #1, I was able to view the output that you are expecting:

<html lang="en"><head><!-- {} #css { color: red; } --><!-- referer is || --><!--
when referer is the same as the value of the href attribute below,
       this script will return a stylesheet instead of an HTML page.
--><title>An HTML Page with the CSS Stylesheet Having The Same URI</title>

 
  
  
  
  
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.hixie.ch/tests/evil/dom/css/001.cgi">
  <script type="text/javascript">
      function test() {
          if (document.styleSheets[0].href ==
'http://www.hixie.ch/tests/evil/dom/css/001.cgi') {
             
document.getElementById('dom').appendChild(document.createTextNode('The DOM part
of this test has PASSED.'));
          } else {
             
document.getElementById('dom').appendChild(document.createTextNode('The DOM part
of this test has FAILED. The URI of the first stylesheet was given as: ' +
document.styleSheets[0].href));
          }
      }
  </script></head><body onload="setTimeout(test, 500)">
  <p id="css">The CSS loader part of this test has passed if this line is green.</p>
  <p id="dom">The DOM part of this test has PASSED.</p>
  <p>The networking part of this test has passed if <a
href="http://www.hixie.ch/tests/evil/dom/css/001.cgi">this is a stylesheet</a>.</p>

  <p>The UI part of this test has passed if after following that link, the back
button returns you to this page.</p>

This is INVALID. The source specifically states that the script will return the
stylesheet, and not the HTML source.
