In this one you're creating an empty div element (by providing an html
string), returned as the only item in a jQuery object, then calling the html
method to set it's content/innerHTML

In this one you're constructing an html string that represents your entire
non-empty div element, and having jQuery create the element, including
contents. The jQuery object that is returned contains that one (parent)
element.
I had always thought of them as being practically identical (in terms of end
result). I guess you found one way in which they're not, relating to
side-effects. I'm not sure whether this is by design or a bug.
