DOM creation in IE broken

Description
Seems that with the latest 1.2.1 some basic DOM creation like this:
var hImgCon = $('#d1');
var el = $('<span>');
el.appendTo( hImgCon );
alert(hImgCon.html());
is broken in IE6 and 7 - alerts empty string. While in FF is working all fine.
This was working fine with previous jQuery versions.
only creating $('<div>') works fine - other elements created by $(' <xxx>') do not come in IE.
Maybe this has to do something with closing tags? Because using
$('<span />') seems to work fine!

It looks like this was caused by an inability of IE to serialize some tags. The workaround for IE was to wrap the html in a div and set it to innerHTML. Apparently IE doesn't like it now without a closing tag. The resulting innerHTML looks like <div><span></div></span> which causes the problem. That is probably why div works. It ends up looking like <div><div></div></div> which is fine.
I went ahead an updated the documentation here:
http://docs.jquery.com/Core/jQuery#html
to explain better what works.

So I'm going to close this one also.
