Right. It is for compatibility with Mozilla and Opera, and ported from 
WebCore. They have this comment:

// This is a deliberate quirk to match Mozilla and Opera.  We have to do this
// since sites that use the "standards-compliant" path sometimes send
// <script src="foo.js"/>.  Both Moz and Opera will honor this, despite it
// being bogus HTML.  They do not honor the "/" for other tags.  This behavior
// also deviates from WinIE, but in this case we'll just copy Moz and Opera.
