This issue came up already a couple of times on this list [1, 2]. It
is due to Mozilla deprecating E4X [1], which "is a programming
language extension that adds native XML support to JavaScript". It was
used by Pentadactyl (at least) to include some documentation in the
plugin files. Removing the offending lines as in [2] should solve the
issue, leaving you without help page for those plugins.
