Verified:

<div id="x"></div> <div class='test'></div> <div class='test'></div> 
alert($("#x ~ div").length)

Selects two elements in 1.2.6 but none in 1.3.2.

This appears to be an invalid markup problem.

Assuming the test case meant this:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="../jquery.js"></script>
    <div id="x"></div> 
    <div class='test'></div> 
    <div class='test'></div>
    <script>alert($("#x ~ div").length);</script>

I tested in FF3.5 I saw the HTML generated by the test case put the ending script tag in the header. Of course then it wasn't waiting for the document to be ready which caused it to find no elements.

Closing on that basis but please reopen if you can find valid markup that causes this same behavior.
