$(window).on() breaks in IE

Description
I've got a set of code that uses the new .on(), which I'd like to bind to the window. However, the event fails to trigger in < IE9. Example code:
This works just fine in IE
$('body').on('click', '.class', function(e){ //this really should be window instead of 'body', but IE would break
// do stuff
}
This only works in FF, webkit:
$(window).on('click', '.class', function(e){
// do stuff
}

I ran into the same issue using IE10 in Compatibility View / Document Mode: IE7 Standards.
Did not work:
$(window).on('click', '.class', function () { ( ... )
Does work:
$('body').on('click', '.class', function () { ( ... )

And again, to be clear, using $(window) for delegated events is wrong and was never supported.
Why do you want to bind a delegated event to
window? Read the description of event delegation in the API docs for .on(), it doesn't make sense to do that.
