Please update the documentation to reflect this. It appears from the docs that it will simply put the html you specify into the element but in the case of garbage html it does not do what the docs suggest, it fails instead.
Description: Set the HTML contents of each element in the set of matched elements.
Pretty much garbage-in-garbage-out. jQuery doesn't try to validate the HTML it gives to the IE .innerHTML property, it would be too expensive to try and do that in Javascript.
