Description
I'm getting a strange but in IE 6, 7 & 8 where if you append an element to an <object> tag it will give the error:
SCRIPT87: Invalid argument.
I've reproduced this bug in jsfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/gR2E9/
If I append text it appears to work fine, it only breaks if I append an element.
It's breaking on line 5653 of jQuery 1.7.1 for me saying elem is an invalid argument.
I'm running on Windows 7 using IE9 in compatability mode. Though I have also reproduced this bug in IE 8 and IE 7 on windows XP.

Thanks for the test cases, it's really strange because when you trace through it with the debugger we're doing the same appendChild operation of the param to an object. I think it may be that the html string with a "<param ..." isn't being created correctly but it's a sufficiently rare corner case that I'll just mark it open for now.

Oh I see what's happening. The <param> needs an <object> wrapper to be created correctly: http://jsfiddle.net/gR2E9/22/
I also recreated adding the element in pure javascript and it works as expected:
