jQuery.closest('form') doesn't work for input-elements with name="nodeType"

Description

If there is any <input name="nodeType"/> in the DOM, the closest("form") and parents("form") methods doesn't work, i.e. the parent form-element is not found.

Try here:

If you change the name="nodeType" attribute to any other value, then it works.

If there's an easy workaround we can fix it, but I suspect the problem will just crop up somewhere else. Not sure if we can access nodeType when it's been clobbered by a form element name.

A similar previous case: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/12318

Following that logic, this should be marked invalid, although it's a really nasty corner case.
