Do you get an alert if you change the document.write to alert? That
would tell you for sure that IE was seeing the code and not just
ignoring the conditional comments.

The script engine has every right to close the script block when it
encounters the sequence </ after the opening script tag. The / gets
escaped to break up that sequence. That said, there are no modern UA's
that close it until it reaches </script> but it is an old habit that
dies hard.

<script type="text/javascript">
/*@cc_on @*/
/*@if (@_jscript_version >= 4)
document.write('<\/body>');
@end @*/
</script>
