Thanks for submitting a ticket. As per our docs:

'DOM traversal methods are not supported for finding elements to send to .live(). Rather, the .live() method should always be called directly after a selector, as in the example above.'

This is why you're running into issues with .next() and .live(). If as per our docs, you instead select 'b' with a class selector and call live directly after, you'll see that there are no issues with using .live(). http://jsfiddle.net/eqTS7/

The .live() method has always been documented as $("selector").live( ... ) and traversing methods should not be used before it. See the documentation, it's very clear:

DOM traversal methods are not supported for finding elements to send to .live(). Rather, the .live() method should always be called directly after a selector, as in the example above.

For new jQuery work, use .delegate() instead.
