Thanks for taking a moment to try to help the jQuery project, but this is not a valid bug. + is a selector (for adjacent siblings). As is stated in the selectors docs (http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/):
If you wish to use any of the meta-characters ( such as !"#$%&'()*+,./:;<=>?@[\\]^`{|}~ ) as a literal part of a name, you must escape the character with two backslashes: \\\\. For example, if you have an element with id="foo.bar", you can use the selector $("#foo\\\\.bar"). The W3C CSS specification contains the complete set of rules regarding valid CSS selectors.
It works fine once you do the escaping: http://jsfiddle.net/xvk3Z/
In the future please provide a test case and search the documentation before filing a bug.
