I believe theres a problem with $.proxy. If you call

  $.proxy(object, "method")()

object.method is passed the arguments passed to $.proxy... effectively

  object.method(object, "method");

A quick look at the $.proxy source reveals the following:

  proxy: function( fn, proxy, thisObject ) {
    // ... elided ...
    proxy = function() {
      return fn.apply( thisObject || this, arguments );
    };
    // ... elided ...
    return proxy;
  }

Is there a reason for arguments to be passed on through?

Oddly, this causes problems on FF 3.6.2, but not Chromium 5.0.344.0.
