well, the short-close is not valid in HTML 4.0 (I don't think 
officially it is anyway) so that would not really make it a bug.  
but... most browsers out there (IE and Safari notably) are very 
forgiving to invalid markup, as they should be.  So I would say it is a 
shortcoming of Mozilla.  I think Firefox 1.0 is more graceful around 
these things.  the choke I've seen in older firefoxes breaks the whole 
layout of a page.
