A <meta> tag inside a string in a script (or anywhere inside a <script> tag, for that matter) should not be taken into account when determining page encoding.
This is similar to bug 124904, which dealt with http-equiv meta tags in HTML comments.

The testcase doesn't work from Bugzilla, since Bugzilla apparently sends a character-encoding HTTP header that overrides the meta tags.

Yeah. As a workaround, the site can use the comment hack <script><!-- ... // --></script> to hide the meta tag.

WONTFIX per HTML5 spec. (The meta prescan doesn't use the full parser.)
