While self-closed tags are not a supported part of XHTML in any of the three major browsers, the failure condition in WebKit differs from that of IE and Firefox. It appears as though Webkit's search for a close tag for the "missing" close tag of the self closed tag is scoped differently than IE and Firefox. I've attached a test case that reproduces the behavior. (see bug 26151 for more discussion of self-closed tags)

This has nothing to do with "self-closing" tags - every browser treats <div/> exactly like <div> in HTML. I can confirm that this source is parsed differently than in Firefox and than HTML5 postulates - "<div id='foo'/>Hello</li>" should be equivalent to "<div id='foo'>Hello</div></li>", not "<div id='foo'>Hello</li></div>". Re-titling accordingly.
