As it is the overhead to the existing fix is very minimal, has no
function calls, no DOM manipulation, and is only 6 lines of code (even
with the optgroup fix).
Doing a bit more research I found a very similar problem when you use
dynamically-created optgroups in IE. I found a feature detect that was
able to detect the specific logic in Webkit and IE and skip the
property accesses if not necessary.

Although, I seem to remember having a very heated discussion wherein
you advocated that our position of asking users to specify a doctype
to animate element width/height to 0 in IE 6 was too extreme and that
we shouldn't be making demands of a user's markup. (Granted that is
likely the only place where we make such a demand: We just ask the
users to provide a document that validates first.)
Thanks for the pointers. In the future, filing individual
tickets/patches/test cases will be quite helpful.
