hmm, well I am not sure where the problem lies.
Something is changing your "{" to other code and that is typically done by html editors. If you are sure that any files you have edited are OK, it could be a server/setup problem, but I don't know.
I would be looking at putting back the original files from skin1_original to see if that solves it or not.
Maybe someone else can spot the problem, but my experience of the problem is editing files as I say.
