Description
When creating a new HTML element with attributes by passing the source to the jQuery constructor, if no closing tag is present most browsers create the element anyway.
IE 8 (and maybe below, I don't have < 8) return an empty jQuery object.
Example without attributes, showing the expected behavour: http://jsfiddle.net/HJyGz/0/
Example with an attribute, showing the buggy behaviour: http://jsfiddle.net/HJyGz/1/

Yes, as clearly documented. If it needs a closing tag you should provide one. Just like script tags need a closing tag and can't be shortcutted.
