As I am reworking my layout I have a close look at each antville skin. In stories:embed

<span class="storyTitle"><% story.content part="title" suffix="<br />" %></span>
<% story.content part="text" limit="100" clipping="&nbsp;..." %><span class="small"><% story.link text="[read&nbsp;more]" prefix="&nbsp;" to="main" %><% story.editlink prefix="&nbsp;...&nbsp;" %></span><br /></span>

seems to be a span start tag missing - or one end tag too many (much?).

you're really looking close ;-) yep, me parece there's one span too much, i fixed that in cvs. thanks for the report.
