Seems like this should be aborted at some point if you are in the process of
unloading the document. In particular inserting new inline scripts (that would
execute immediatley) during the various phases of unload doesn't seem to work.

I am unable to reproduce this.

This demo (click the link in the rendering area to test):
   http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/1945
...suggests that WebKit crashes, and Gecko and Opera do what the spec says.

Please reopen this bug with a testcase if you can demonstrate the problem in the spec (though it's clearly more subtle than the original description).
