I think what you are seeing is a conflict between HTML and XHTML. You
pretend that your page is XHTML 1.0 Strict, but it is in fact served
as text/html. It is also invalid XHTML - you are missing the closing
shortag on the meta element.
If you correct the error and serve your page as XHTML, you will get
the same result in Firefox and Safari - even if you remove all scripts
from the file (but of course you will get nothing in IE, which has no
idea what XHTML is).
As to why there is a difference between XHTML and HTML, I suggest you
ask in

Be prepared to weather some flak for using XHTML at all, but I think
you will get the answer.
Further, scriptaculous.js loads all the other files, so there is no
need to include them all - you are just creating twice the number of
script elements as are required.
And lastly, the effect you see with HTML and Safari (i.e. if you serve
a valid HTML document as HTML rather than invalid XHTML) occurs if you
include any script file after prototpye.js - it doesn't seem to matter
what it is, or even if it exists.
I don't have time to track it down any further than that, but I
suggest you start by looking at the functions that run when
Prototype.js is loaded.
