clone() contains unwanted </div> in IE8

[singlewind]

<div> <object id="object" > <param name="width" value="100" /> ... <embed ... /> </object> <br /> <p></p> </div>

jQuery(function($){

alert($('#object').html()); alert($('#object').clone().html());

});

the first alert showing "<embed .../>", all the params are ignored. the seconde alert showing "<embed /> </div>" which contains unwanted '</div>'.

Please provide a reduced test case on  jsFiddle demonstrating this issue if it still exists in current versions of jQuery.
