ImportantSyntax errors in the head of the document prevent reliable extraction of meta tags and page titles. Google 2 pages
The HTML 5 parsing algorithm specifies that unexpected characters or non-head elements like img or div end the head element and start the body element meaning some meta data may be ignored. Unclosed title elements cause similar problems.
