this is spawned by http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11864899/hiding-form-tag-in-jquery
the behaviour can be reproduced by setting either id or name to "style"

I'm inclined to say wontfix here. Let's see what the core team thinks.

Yeah I agree, sometimes we can work around these but I don't think so in this case--especially in IE6/7. Also it's not a jQuery-specific issue and there's no obvious place that the jQuery docs can mention this. Web devs just have to know that some words cannot be used as form names. Sucks.
Here is a jsFiddle with some tests: http://jsfiddle.net/davidbuzatto/7P2AL/
