jQuery 1.5+ breaks working if ( is used in form element names

Description
I'm combining Struts and jQuery. In Struts it's best practice to use () in form element names if one wants to insert a value in a mapped object serverside on submit.
For instance <input type="hidden" name="queryCondition(7447).key" value="yes"/> will set the value yes on the property key on the object 7447 in the map queryCondition.
This works perfectly with jQuery 1.4.4 and earlier but upgrading to 1.5+ results in the following error in Firefox:
uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [name = queryCondition(7447).key]
It is possible to get the old working handling back please - perhaps controlled by a setting?

Quote the attribute.
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#matching-attrs
"Attributes should be identifiers or strings."
You just need to wrap the attribute value in quotes.
$('[name="queryCondition(7447).key"]')
