It seems unlikely to me that something like an unterminated script would cause it to choke. It certainly does appear that the tag is registered as unterminated, though:

examples = [
    '<html><head><title>Foo</title><script>This is an unterminated script',
    '<html><head><script>Mismatched close</head><body><p>Hello</p></body></html>'
]

from lxml import etree

for content in examples:
    tree = etree.fromstring(content, etree.HTMLParser(recover=True))
    print '%s => %s' % (content, tree.xpath('//script')[0].text)

The example provided here does appear to have an unterminated script, but none of the examples I have do (attaching them now).
