Do you think you could find a test case for this? We were under the
assumption that this method was fairly rock-solid, but what you
describe sounds like a reproducible flaw. If you can make one, please
post it to the bug tracker.

Hmm... Removing the 'defer' from this script tag would cause
$(document).ready() to fire prematurely - a very bad thing.
I don't know what the solution is for you, but this defer attribute also
gave me a lot of grief recently. One of our newspaper partner sites had some
JavaScript code that was setting .innerHTML of a DOM element *while the page
was loading*. This caused that special script tag to execute immediately,
also causing $(document).ready() to fire prematurely.
Fortunately, I was able to change their code to use document.write instead
of .innerHTML, but clearly the defer attribute is not very robust. I wonder
if there is a usable alternative for IE?
