I just came across another bug, where page unload pukes on this line in jQuery 1.4.2:
var events = jQuery.data(this, "events"), handlers = events[ event.type ];
.. should be ..
var events = jQuery.data(this, "events"), handlers = events ? events[ event.type ] : null;
I logged in to report this bug but it seems this (#5971) should have fixed this. I may be misunderstanding "Milestone" field but this defect remains in 1.4.2.

You're mis-understanding the bug - that's a separate case where you're requesting a specific property where it (apparently) doesn't exist any more. What you're describing is ticket #6163 and it's already been fixed.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
Fixed. http://github.com/jquery/jquery/commit/eed69eccc54d010889b5d8495320538d7ceb4e51
