This is documented behaviour, live does not work against arbitrary collections, including those made from DOM element references, it only works directly after a string selector.
"Chaining methods is not supported. For example, $("a").find(".offsite, .external").live( ... ); is not valid and does not work as expected."
Furthermore, 'a' elements that are already on the page and then trying to make a .live call against them doesn't really make much sense, as it kind of defeats the point of "working with future elements" conceptually.
Thanks for submitting a ticket to the jQuery bug tracker. Could you please also provide us with a complete test case on jsFiddle that reproduces the issues you're experiencing? It would also be great if you could test with jQuery edge.
