Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report.
The documentation for the Attribute Ends With Selector says:
test case shows it's working if you add quotes around \[test\].
But the escaped unquoted selector *should* actually work and this is a known regression. Check the ticket mentioned below for progress on this issue.
