This page puts up a blank alert with the <p> tag, but with <br> it shows '<h3>Eggs</h3>One dozen please', as I'd expected.
This appears to be the case with Firefox 12.0 and Chrome 19.0. IE8 gets it right. Any ideas what might be happening?

The / has no meaning, at least not in HTML5. So you actually have:
<p>
<span id="s1"><h3>Eggs</h3>One dozen please</span>
Since a <p> cannot contain an <h3>, the browser tries to make at least some sense out of it by interpreting it as:
<p>
<span id="s1"></span>
</p>
<h3>Eggs</h3>One dozen please
