I'm just pointing out several test cases that should be handled

Broken in 1.4.1a2, but now corrected I see.

Yes, but it didn't in 1.3.2.

I agree, but it is a change in the API and may make it difficult for
some to upgrade (it removes functionality). The wandering API
sometimes makes it difficult to upgrade jQuery versions, which is why
I have some projects stuck on 1.2.6 and one that was just recently
upped from 1.1.2! :(
