1.4 throws exception when selecting custom tag in IE

Description

I've an HTML page with custom tags in it that I need to get the .html() of. The following works in IE using 1.3.2, but in 1.4 gives a "Exception thrown and not caught" error. Using the 1.3 compat file doesn't make a difference either.

(If there's a better way to do what I'm trying to do please feel free to let me know!)

If the selector is "mycustomtag\\\\:default", which is what I think you meant, it works.
