To my mind, the "principle of least surprise" suggests that jQuery should throw an exception when passed something for which its behaviour is undefined, like a number. It shouldn't be particularly surprising to see an error when one starts throwing invalid input at a function, and it means that people won't fall into the trap of finding some undocumented and unintended behaviour and starting to rely on it.
