Reproduced on the Mac too. This is a regression that occured between 07/06 and
07/12.

As in bug 44432:
- you need a doctype: loose or strict dtd, any doctype is fine.
- even empty tags can make a difference: NOSCRIPT here, MAP there.

I'm going to attach another testcase to show that the problem is not related to 
the stylesheet. If you LINK any dummy URL, like "file://foo", the bug happens 
too. Note that bug 44285 was reported recently about document.write() and LINKed 
stylesheet.

Reassigned to Parser/harishd like the other 2 bugs.

Marking nsbeta3+, given that we have a fix in hand and this is a relatively 
serious user experience problem.  This fix also fixes bug 7670 that enables 
NOSCRIPT content display when JS is disabled from the preferences.
