insert the [gallery] string in a post with images using WordPress 2.5.1

I would rather not, since it's in "production", but it's not the theme it 
depends on, it's the code that replaces the [gallery] string in every post.

I see from the links Benedict provides (ticket #6496) that this is a known 
issue... Too bad it hasn't been fixed yet.

yes it does

For an example... look at the source code of http://hovenko.no/blog/ around 
line 85. The style-element is invalid inside of <body /> in xhtml.
