[validate] "jQuery.validator.messages is null or not an object." error in ie6 with page encoding set to utf-8

Description

AFFLICTED BROWSER:

ie6 only (works fine in ie7 and FF)

PAGE ENCODING:

UTF-8 (works fine with page encoding set to ISO-xxxx-xx)

SYMTOM:

Browser throws out a js error and refused to return false and validate upon form submits:

"jQuery.validator.messages is null or not an object."

ROOT CAUSE:

The regex at line 976 (jquery.validate.js version 1.5) is flawed with utf-8 encoding in ie6.

Can't reproduce. UTF-8 encoding works fine for me; please reopen with a testpage.
