Like jitter said, HTML5 has claimed the text attribute and several browsers already implement it. (IE6/7/8 does not though.) Whenever you're adding custom attributes, it's a good idea to prefix with something like x- or use the data- attribute support sanctified by HTML5.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.

Not sure if this is a jQuery bug.
AFAIK with HTML 5 a text attribute was introduced for link tags (see spec) which contains the same as the DOM 3 textContent property.
If you try this test case in different browsers you might get very different results.
In many modern browsers you will get two alerts saying "link text" and "bar" instead of "foo" and "bar". In older browser you might get "foo" and "bar" when they have no HTML 5 support yet.
