Of course. I was forgetting that the template must itself be proper
HTML - it's not just good enough that the illegal gets removed before
the page reaches the browser.

I want to insert the value of a template variable into a JavaScript
code block. By making the <script> element active, do you mean making
the whole content of the script be a huge multiline tal:content
attribute of the <script> tag (with appropriate embedded $
interpolators for the template variables)? This presumably also means
that any quotes in the JavaScript code would have to be encoded as HTML
&quot; entities in order not to clash with the tal:content attribute's
own quotes.
