Ok. MS ignores many standards and norms. I took the information from:

Apparently this is a specific problem with Mozilla. I tried with Firefox,
Opera and Dillo, and didn't have any problem. I've traced the HTTP
exchange over the 'net, and the HTML code is served correctly. It's the
browser that gets confused.

I've filed a bug report on bugzilla...

Thanks for the replies, and sorry for blaming PHP (not really ;-).
