Thanks for opening a ticket!

After looking into this, we realized that the iframe is in quirksmode, which we don't support.

Also, even the meager jQuery.support.boxModel flag we had in earlier versions wouldn't work here since we only feature detected for the window that loaded jQuery. If we wanted to support quirks for this case, which we don't, we would have to have all sorts of tests in the live code path based on the mode of the document being processed.
