Comment (by dmsnell):

 Does anyone have some example output before and after force-balancing the
 tags? I've been exploring replacing the internal logic of
 `force_balance_tags()` with the HTML API, which should resolve pretty much
 every problem associated with it, but I want to verify that in this case,
 that there's not something strange going on with the interplay of the HTML
 produced by the shortcode.

 > Notice that some ending /spans, /is, and or /as are added before the end
 script, breaking it. Seems to not be wp version dependent.

 This is the part I'd love to see, since I don't have a test setup for
 ninja forms, nor would I know if what I see is what you are seeing.
