HtmlDoc appending script tag to body fails in IE8

What steps will reproduce the problem?
--------------------------------------

When using the HtmlDoc feature to append a script tag to the body, the tag is 
not appended in IE8.

I have created a jstd test (script-tag.js attached)

TestScriptTag = TestCase('test script tag')

TestScriptTag.prototype.test_failing_in_IE = function () {
    /*:DOC += <script id='test' type='text/yaml'></script> */
    assertNotNull(document.getElementById('test'));
}

TestScriptTag.prototype.test_working_in_IE = function () {
    var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body').item(0);
    var script = document.createElement('script');
    script.setAttribute('id', 'test');
    script.setAttribute('type', 'text/yaml');
    body.appendChild(script);
    assertNotNull(document.getElementById('test'));
}

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-----------------------------------------------------

When running jstd with the configuration attached in verbose mode I get

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 Windows [FAILED] test script 
tag.test_failing_in_IE
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 Windows [PASSED] test script 
tag.test_working_in_IE
Total 2 tests (Passed: 1; Fails: 1; Errors: 0) (1.00 ms)
  Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 Windows: Run 2 tests (Passed: 1; Fails: 1; Errors 0) (1.00 ms)
    test script tag.test_failing_in_IE failed (0.00 ms): AssertError: expected not null but was null

I was "expecting" both tests to pass.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Running the server on an Ubuntu 11.10 box using JSTD 1.3.4.b, the Windows slave 
is a Win7 box running out of the box IE8.

Please provide any additional information below.
