I suspect this line in the plugin is causing the problem:

if ($this.selector) { // if a selector was given and it didn't match any elements, go ahead and exit.

The .selector property was never documented or public, and the logic there may be making incorrect assumptions. There are also several uses of undocumented jQuery.support properties that may have changed, it's trying to divine whether the browser is IE or not.

The plugin author will need to revise the plugin for it to work with 1.9.
