While working on MDL-43571 I've found a trivial issue in the way the named anchor on top of each message has been created, see the HTML source:

...

<a name="NNN"></a>

<a name="m'.MMM.'"></a>

<span class="message-meta"></span>

...

This is due to an incorrect variable expansion in the code, kind of expecting an echo:

    return <<<TEMPLATE

<div class='message $class'>

    <a name="m'.{$message->id}.'"></a>

    <span class="message-meta"><span class="time">$time</span></span>: <span class="text">$messagetext</span>

</div>
