Overview
If you have a document which is missing its </title> end tag,
mozilla displays a blank page. The </head> and/or <body> tag
for html should close any open tags that go in the <head>..</head>,
including the <title> tag.

Well...
Netscape 4 on linux and Explorer on Mac have the same behaviour.
The HTML specs says:
"
7.4.2 The TITLE element
...
Start tag: required, End tag: required
"
So I believe this one is going to be invalid

As Gilles noted, the HTML is bad. Marking invalid.
