can't find the XML element including colon(even after //)

[raincolee@…]

Sorry I have to use google reader API to show this bug because I can't reproduce it with other XML.

$.get("http://www.google.com/reader/atom/feed%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F37signals.com%2Fsvn", function(data) {
   console.log($(data).find("gr\\:continuation"));
});
=> []

but in fact, this XML looks like:

<feed >
<!-- Content-type: Preventing XSRF in IE. -->
<generator uri="http://www.google.com/reader">Google Reader</generator>
<id>
tag:google.com,2005:reader/feed/http://37signals.com/svn
</id>
<title>Signal vs. Noise</title>
<subtitle type="html">Signal vs. Noise</subtitle>
<gr:continuation>CK_-lYXU4qsC</gr:continuation>
<updated>2011-11-17T03:16:02Z</updated>
...

jQuery can't retrieve the 'gr:continuation' element, but can retrieve all other elements. I thinks it's a bug.

Sounds like #10377 but a test case would clarify.
