> Might be related to bug 41937 then...
no, it's not related. the patch that fixes bug 41937 is already deployed, and
this problem still exists with IE7, and with IE-8/9 in compatibility mode.
(also, the other problem came from throwing an exception in IE, mainly because
of an extra comma. this problem, unfortunately, does not throw any exception).

according to this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVillage_pump_%28technical%29&diff=503442043&oldid=503440558}

the problem exists *at least* since July of 2012.

this may actually point to a systemic issue: it seems that there is very little
(if any) testing of new releases vs. IE, and probably none at all with IE in
compatibility mode.

the fact that this is a crappy and non-standard-conformant browser is hardly an
excuse. unfortunately, very large number of readers and editors use it, so this
lackluster testing vs. IE is unacceptable.

peace.
