This is related to another ticket... but I don't recall the number right now. We'll try to fix this for 1.3 (without hitting on perfomance).

This is actually a separate bug from 2747. To make this one consistent everywhere we only have to add 'action' into the list of attributes that are special to force them to be accessed using getAttribute('action'). Accessing Element.action (DOM level 0) pulls back a fully qualified domain in IE8 and FF. Attaching a patch.

So I was wrong. Something a little funky is going on. I'm attaching a complete test comparison for href, src, and action instead.

Test case for href, action, and src attributes.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
however $("form[action*='xyz']") does work...
