This would be a problem with IE, not jQuery.

Paul is referring to this:

http://ejohn.org/blog/html5-shiv/

I tried the obvious, defining the tags with createElement, and it didn't seem to help.

  document.createElement('header');
  document.createElement('hgroup');
  document.createElement('section');

I did notice in the html with IE8 debugger, the Sizzle sizcache and sizset attributes remain on the the elements. Not sure why that happens.

The shiv is in there now, but the above code is still reproducible.

I would be content with this as something that needs to be documented, but I'm curious if there is a fix available at the Sizzle level.

Try removing spaces before :visible "header:visible" and the same for contains.

Another testpage with spaces removed here: http://miketaylr.com/test/html5pseudo_spaces.html, with the same behavior.

test case works for me using jQuery 1.4.4.
