Description
Beginning with jQuery 1.11.0 (and continuing only in the 1.x branch), using .val() on an option with no value attribute returns the entire text of the option, including white-space.
<select>
<option selected>
</option>
</select>
Length of selected option value: <span id="result"></span>
<script type="text/javascript">
var
$r = $('#result'),
$o = $('select option:selected');
$r.text( $o.val().length );
</script>
In 1.10.1 and 2.x (edge), this returns 0. In 1.11.0 and forward, this returns 12.

Val on options changed over to jQuery.text in the following commit:

It looks like jQuery.text()'s behavior is consistent across these versions, so maybe this commit was bad?

Reproduced in IE9 and Chrome 34.0.1847.45 beta-m, both on Windows 7.
I expected non-significant white-space to be excluded from the value. Based on other versions, you wouldn't even expect a single space.
