<tag/> in IE in jQuery 1.1.4

If you launch in IE the following code

$("body").append($('<form id="testform" name="Hello"/>'))
alert($("#testform").attr("name"))

jQuery 1.1.3 (and previous) returns "Hello" as we aspected.

Instead jQuery 1.1.4 returns "undefined".

This will alert "Hello" as expected

$("body").append($('<form id="testform" name="Hello"></form>'));
alert($("#testform").attr("name"));

Avoid using $('<tag/>') syntax for elements that require a closing tag in IE. Should this be documented somewhere?
