*** 38939 ERROR TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | /tests/intl/uconv/tests/test_bug335816.html | Error thrown during test: $("display") is null - got 0, expected 1

The test does

<script ...>
function test()
{
  ok($("display").innerHTML != "Keep that breathless charm", "Hidden script not executed");
  SimpleTest.finish();
}
...
  setTimeout(test, 100);
</script>

*before* the <p id="display"> appears in the document. So it's entirely possible that parsing stalls for more than 100ms after the <script> closes but before the <p> is encountered, so indeed we'll fail to find the element.
