Thanks, that helps. The issue is that `<source` triggers an HTML block – see  
the spec under type 6 start conditions.

Maybe `<source` shouldn’t actually be in this list. It should never begin a raw HTML block, should it? It should only be part of a block headed by another element, like `<picture>`.
