Cftextarea with script tags

Question

I posted this question on the FCKeditor forum and got no reply. Hoping someone here in the CFusion forum may have insight!
We have used the FCKeditor in our CMS for years and now that CF 8 includes this as its rich text editor, we are using the version that came with CF 8 (v2.5 build 17352) instead of a separate instance.
We are having problems when including any script tags within the text area.
After content is saved to the dbase and the page reloads, the editor is no longer visible and the content that *should* display within the editor area displays at the top of the page.
Also, when content is saved, all special character encoding (e.g., ™) is lost and is replaced with question marks.
We did not have this same problem using previous versions of FCKeditor.
Is there a setting we have incorrect? Or does FCKeditor not support script tags within the cftextarea?
Thanks in advance for insight!

Thanks for the reply Craig!
Of note: Firebug tells me the error is an 'unterminated string literal'
Following is what ColdFusion automatically generates in the head portion of the document when rendering the page. Looks like the error is in the intialization but I can't see what the error is.
<script type="text/javascript">
_cf_richtext_init_1245775594721=function()
ColdFusion.RichText.initialize('cf_textarea1245775594720', 'body', '<script type="text/javascript"><br> alert("hello world");<br></script>
', '/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/FCKeditor/', null, 400, null, null, null, null, false, 'articleBody', null, null, 'en');
};ColdFusion.Event.registerOnLoad(_cf_richtext_init_1245775594721);
</script>
===================
And this is the form generated:
<form name="articleEdit" id="articleEdit" action="index.cfm?" method="post" onsubmit="return _CF_checkarticleEdit(this)">
<textarea name="body"  id="cf_textarea1245775594720" cols="100" rows="5" ><script type="text/javascript">
alert("hello world");
</script>
</textarea>
</form>
