Description

When a div that contains an object is cloned in IE8, the following error is seen.

SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property 'nodeType': object is null or undefined 
jquery-1.6.js, line 5769 character 2

This only happens in IE8 with jQuery version 1.5+. If I change this jsFiddle demo (http://jsfiddle.net/Mottie/zQxgH/) to jQuery version 1.4.4 or older, the error doesn't occur.

Experiencing this on IE9 (9.0.8112.16421) also. Hoping for a 1.5.x patch.

_comment0: There will not be a 1.5.x patch as jQuery has just released 1.6.2 → 1310516998418492

There will not be a 1.5.x patch as jQuery has just released 1.6.2 - you can expect this to land in 1.7
