Attribute selector with escaped character doesn't work when used with a context

Description
When filtering by attribute no results are returned if a "[" escaped character is used in conjunction with a context. No errors are reported by jQuery either.
This can be reproduced with the following code (tested with Firefox 3.6):
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
$(function()
{
var ctx = $("#mydiv");
// outputs "1: test[0]"
$("select[name^=test]", ctx).each(function() { console.log("1: " + $(this).attr("name")) });
// no output
$("select[name^=test\\[]", ctx).each(function() { console.log("2: " + $(this).attr("name")) });
// outputs "3: test[0]"
$("select[name^=test\\[]").each(function() { console.log("3: " + $(this).attr("name")) });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mydiv">
<select name="test[0]"></select>
</div>
</body>
</html>

When using a selector and specify the context, or directly using .find, the selector indeed doesn't work with escaped
[
]
Doesn't work:
jQuery('input[name="f\\[first_name\\]"]','#main_form'); jQuery('#main_form').find('input[name="f\\[first_name\\]"]');The following works:
jQuery('input[name="f[first_name]"]','#main_form'); jQuery('#main_form').find('input[name="f[first_name]"]');This one works also (but the context is not used and matches from whole document)
jQuery('input[name="f\\[first_name\\]"]')My question is if this is a bug in the current version and will be updated or this is how it should work?
