The piece of code indicated by IE was:
jQuery.event.triggered = type;
elem[type]();
jQuery.event.triggered = undefined;

I also found this error in IE8. I have a very simple page which include JQuery in the <header> section.
When trying to load the paeg, got a warning and nothing is displayed (empty page).
Error copied and shown below.

I had the same issue on the latest jquery version (1.7.1, downloaded today!!) the solution was to put a try...catch statement around the condition. In my case, the problem was:
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; InfoPath.2; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)

Line: 3175
And the lines affected:
Prevent re-triggering of the same event, since we already bubbled it above
jQuery.event.triggered = type;
elem[ type ]();
The code still haves a comment that points to a issue #1486 (4 years ago?)
IE<9 dies on focus/blur to hidden element (#1486)

putting a try catch around the focus call worked for me.
if(retainFocus){ try { this.newelement[0].focus(); } catch(err){ return false; } }

This shouldn't bomb. As it did not break in previous versions of jQuery. I agree that trying to set focus to a disabled element is bad practice, but jQuery's response to this action shouldn't change between releases.
