$.ajax() ignores "data" content for JSONP-GET requests

Description

$.ajax() doesn't place the variables in the "data" parameter into the URL, even though the documentation says about the "data" parameter: "It's appended to the url for GET-requests".

Test case:

It seems I jumped the gun. After inspecting the test case with Firebug, I see that the "data" variables do get added to the URL, however they are added *after* the callback function, which breaks the test case (in this case, Google).

Without "data" (works):

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?sensor=false&q=USA&callback=jsonp1266305317582

With "data" (breaks):

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?callback=jsonp1266305317583&q=USA&sensor=false

How do you suggest to proceed?

Perhaps Google should be contacted to let them know that their URL parameter parsing is broken?

I'm always surprised at how many broken JSONP implementations there are.
