When putting a </script> tag within a comment the browser takes this as the end of the <script> tag. I tried with both /* </script> *> and // </script>

This is correct behavior. (Try it with current browsers.) The HTML parser runs and then the JavaScript parser is given the text between <script> and </script>, so the JavaScript parser has no opportunity to affect the parsing of the script tags.

Changing component to "Javascript Engine". "Javascript" component is being retired.
