I created a test case at http://jsfiddle.net/9T4Lq/1/.

Both Firefox (28 and 31) and Chrome 32 return null, not undefined.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! Please provide a complete reduced test case on jsFiddle to help us assess your ticket!

Additionally, be sure to test against the "jQuery 1.x (edge)" or "jQuery 2.x (edge)" version to ensure the issue still exists—you may need to change this to a specific version depending on the test case.

For the AJAX-related tests you can create a few fiddles and submit requests to addresses with "/show/light" added to the end of the URL; example: http://jsfiddle.net/m_gol/3hwjC/17/show/light/

To get you started, use the appropriate boilerplate:

I observe null after .val(invalid) in a wide swath of browsers, including Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and IE>=6, in line with #13514 and the documentation.
