w3c validator rejects noscript; is it a bug?

Hello,

I'm trying to validate a page:
http://www.zollerwagner.com/realistPtg/realistPaintingSiteMap.html
in the w3c validator: http://validator.w3.org/

When I do this, I get one error:
Line 62, column 9: document type does not allow element "NOSCRIPT" here;
missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag
  <noscript><a class="ulnav"
href="contactRealistPainting.php?referer=noscript">Co

Am I reading this correctly? It sounds as though they're saying I can't use
noscript here because I'm not using one of those five elements/objects. I
was sure that you could use <noscript> on its own or following <script>.
I've seen similar uses of noscript in Goodman's Dynamic HTML.

Line 62, and the preceding and following lines are:
    61: <h3 class="left"><script type='text/javascript'
language='javascript'>window.document.write('<a class="ulnav"
href="contactRealistPainting.php?referer='+document.URL+'">Contact<\/a>')</s
cript>
    62: <noscript><a class="ulnav"
href="contactRealistPainting.php?referer=noscript">Contact</a></noscript>&nb
sp;Realist Painting</h3>
    63:
    64: <br /></td></tr>

Maybe I'm missing something simple and someone on the list can see it.
Otherwise, this strikes me as a bug in the validator. Any ideas?

Thanks, Art
