I can't explain this, it should work.

I have checked out the scripts. Have you considered writing to a popup
window or some such? If you didn't need GM_log, then you could add the
entire script to the page's context using something like:

window.location.href = "javascript:" + bigChunkOfJS;

I think that this would be a lot better than using unsafeWindow the
way you are there.
