ExE-Boss added a comment to T252038: <style> tag output for TemplateStyles by Parsoid has three CDATA wrappers.

The simple fix is to escape the <![CDATA[...]]> tags in a CSS comment, e.g. change:

<style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r4662631" typeof="mw:Extension/templatestyles mw:Transclusion" about="#mwt1" data-parsoid='{"pi":[[{"k":"1"}]],"dsr":[28,40,null,null]}' data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"T","href":"./Template:T"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"285463"}},"i":0}}]}'><![CDATA[<![CDATA[<![CDATA[.mw-parser-output .phui-tag{background-color:#e7e7e7;border:1px solid #e7e7e7;border-radius:3px;font:13px"Segoe UI","Segoe UI Web Regular","Segoe UI Symbol","Lato","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.51em;padding:0 4px}.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a.external{background:none!important;padding:0!important}.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a,.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a:visited{color:black}.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a{font-weight:bold}]]]]]]><![CDATA[><![CDATA[>]]]]><![CDATA[>]]></style>

to:

<style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r4662631" typeof="mw:Extension/templatestyles mw:Transclusion" about="#mwt1" data-parsoid='{"pi":[[{"k":"1"}]],"dsr":[28,40,null,null]}' data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"T","href":"./Template:T"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"285463"}},"i":0}}]}'>/*<![CDATA[*//*<![CDATA[*//*<![CDATA[*/.mw-parser-output .phui-tag{background-color:#e7e7e7;border:1px solid #e7e7e7;border-radius:3px;font:13px"Segoe UI","Segoe UI Web Regular","Segoe UI Symbol","Lato","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.51em;padding:0 4px}.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a.external{background:none!important;padding:0!important}.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a,.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a:visited{color:black}.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a{font-weight:bold}/*]]>*//*]]>*//*]]>*/</style>
