Comment (by replaythesong):

 In TBB 6.5, security slider has 3 settings instead of 4. Bug occurs in
 medium or high, but not in low.

 So, in steps to reproduce, replace 'medium-low' with 'low' and replace
 'medium-high' with 'medium'.

 An aside: in 6.5, when moz-extension: is added so that the script does
 finally run in medium (or high), it is now accompanied by an error in
 noscript/DOM.js:
 {{{
 NS_NOINTERFACE: Component returned failure code: 0x80004002
 (NS_NOINTERFACE) [nsIInterfaceRequestor.getInterface]
 }}}
 This error does not appear to prevent the script running. It does not
 appear at all in 'low' security mode.
