In 2.0beta1, using html() function on a tbody selector yields insertion of new tbody

[bhs.jquery@…]

When a tbody is selected and then new DOM elements (rows, data cells) are inserted via a call to html(), jQuery 2.0beta1 appears to insert a new tbody. Perhaps when the rows are created, before the resulting structure is added to the document, a containing tbody is created?

The effect can be witnessed here: ​http://jsfiddle.net/VDTjz/1/

The second row should not be red. Switching back to jQuery 1.9 yields the expected result, a blue second row.
