It's not the <noscript> per se; it's what's inside it.
Your <p> tag is automatically (deemed to be) closed when the parser
comes to the <div> (which happens to be inside the <noscript> on line
50). The closing </p> tag is optional for <p>, and a <p> can't contain
block-level element (of which <div> is a prime example), so the <p> is
considered closed when the <div> shows up.
Later, after the div is opened and closed, the closing tag </p> shows
up, with no paragraph left open to be closed by it. Validation error.
It looks to me like you can just take the div-ness out of your noscript
block, but you'll have to try it and see. If it works, then you can try
changing your doctype to
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
