Facebook's Pixel Code broken?

A gent in marketing sent me this code to embed in one of our websites (I've redacted the FB ID):

        <!-- Facebook Pixel Code -->
	<script>
	!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
	n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;
	n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;
	t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,
	document,'script','https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js';);

        fbq('init', '<!--FB CODE REDACTED-->');
	fbq('track', "PageView");</script>
	<noscript><img height="1" width="1" style="display:none"
	src="https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=<!--FB CODE REDACTED-->&ev=PageView&noscript=1";
	/></noscript>
	<!-- End Facebook Pixel Code -->

It's causing Chrome to report a syntax error for the rogue semi-colon towards the end of the packed function. Surely this is going to cost someone a lot of money today? I got him to recreate it a couple of times with the same result. Am I missing some cunning trick?
