I've noticed this too -- a few GM scripts of mine have broken after upgrading to FF10/Ubuntu and GreaseMonkey 0.9.15.
Some preliminary investigation I've done suggests that this may be related to strict XML parsing inside the cdata. For example, I use the var myVar = <str><![CDATA[ .... ]]></str>.toString(); approach to include HTML template strings in my GM scripts -- strings of 'proto-HTML' that I embed inside my GM scripts to create new HTML elements on my "fixed" pages after passing the string through an HTML templating framework. I've found that after my FF/GM update, my scripts fail if my CDATA contain something like: "<input type='radio' id='blah'>" but works fine if my CDATA contains "<input type='radio' id='blah'/>" (ie include trailing end-tag slash). That seems to imply that GM or the e4x engine is being extremely picky about the contents of the CDATA containing strictly-correct XML. In reality, this is very frustrating. The purists will say "oh, well you should be writing valid XML!". That's cute... but how many of you actually write XML to the strictest of standards? If FF can parse it, let me use it. More importantly, though, when using strings as HTML templates, you don't always follow strict XML because it's intended to be proto-XML that gets read by your templating framework and turned into valid HTML. Furthermore, this implies that the "var myVar = <str><! [CDATA[ ... ]]></str>.toString();" approach, described here: http://wiki.greasespot.net/Multi_Line_Strings as a solution to the multi-line strings problem, requires it's contents to be well-formed XML, which makes its use as a general multi-line string solution limited and prone to frustration.
