MonsterInsights comment removal broken

First of all, great plugin.

I’ve encountered a strange error on my page when I activated the plugin and chose to remove the MonsterInsights comment. Before the styles were loaded, I saw a brief flashing of /* */ on my site. While this was negligible, the text pushed the content around and thus slight, but noticeable, layout shifts were the result.

When MonsterInsights comment removal was active, the following HTML was generated:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://example.com/wp-content/cache/minify/8d1dc.css" media="all" />

/* <![CDATA[ */
var monsterinsights_frontend = {"js_events_tracking":"true","download_extensions":"doc,pdf,ppt,zip,xls,docx,pptx,xlsx","inbound_paths":"[{\"path\":\"\\\/go\\\/\",\"label\":\"affiliate\"},{\"path\":\"\\\/recommend\\\/\",\"label\":\"affiliate\"}]","home_url":"https:\/\/example.com","hash_tracking":"false","ua":"","v4_id":"G-0000000000"};
/* ]]> */
</script></script>
<script src="https://example.com/wp-content/cache/minify/818c0.js"></script>

instead of

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://example.com/wp-content/cache/minify/8d1dc.css" media="all" />

<script type='text/javascript' id='monsterinsights-frontend-script-js-extra'>
/* <![CDATA[ */
var monsterinsights_frontend = {"js_events_tracking":"true","download_extensions":"doc,pdf,ppt,zip,xls,docx,pptx,xlsx","inbound_paths":"[{\"path\":\"\\\/go\\\/\",\"label\":\"affiliate\"},{\"path\":\"\\\/recommend\\\/\",\"label\":\"affiliate\"}]","home_url":"https:\/\/example.com","hash_tracking":"false","ua":"","v4_id":"G-0000000000"};
/* ]]> */
</script>
<script src="https://example.com/wp-content/cache/minify/11394.js"></script>

Apparently, because the id of the script tag contains “monsterinsights”, the tag/line is removed from the output, resulting in the aformentioned error.

Installed plugins:
