@Gil is correct. In jQuery 1.3.x, there was a specific comment in the API docs about when creating <input> elements you needed to specify a type as part of the same string due to issues in IE. E.g., $('<input type="text"/>') creates a text field.
Unfortunately, am unable to find that comment in the 1.4 docs, but I'd be willing to bet that this hasn't changed.

Sorry, IE just won't let you (or jQuery) change the type of an input after it's created. I've updated the documentation of
jQuery()to clarify this.
I'm pretty sure that IE in particular won't allow you to change the type attribute on an input after it's been created, which I'm guessing is contributing to the difference in functionality.
I can't really see how jQuery could work around it.
What happens if you try $('<input type="checkbox" />').attr('value', 'foo') instead?
