Humm I get something different, but my templates are different from yours.

The problem I'm seeing is that the resulting preview and story pages will
get odd if you post that perl script as either plaintext or HTML and it
contains HTML that conflicts with the rest of the page (eg head, body,
etc.. tags)  when I preview it on my ShankZen derived test install, it
starts getting weird at line 31, and each successive html tag causes
things to get odder.

The solution to this is to post the story as exttrans the first time you
post it so all of the HTML is translated into the proper entities..
However, it does appear that posting as plaintext or HTML and then trying
to change the story to exttrans after the fact seems to not work which
is a bug.

Can you try to make a new story with this text and post it (without a
preview) as exttrans?

Thanks,
