Description
I can't select an input which name attribute has [] inside.
In normal javascript, it is posible. This works:
document.forms[0]['entityOV.arrayOVs[0].dProperty'].value
But in JQuery fails on IE6.0, IE7.0, FF3.0.
$("input[name='entityOV.arrayOVs[0].dProperty']").val()
and works OK on Chrome 7.0.517.44, FF3.5, IE8.
In this link you can run it online:

Updated test case
Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report and providing a testcase!
I can reproduce this only with browsers which don't support qSA (e.g. IE6/7) so I guess it's a Sizzle problem.

I can reproduce it on FF 3.6.12 and Chrome 8.0.552.210 beta on Ubuntu:
<select name="event[maschine_id]"></select>
<script type="text/javascript" >
$(function(){
s = $('select[name=event[maschine_id]]');
s.remove(); //does not work in jQuery 1.4.4 but works on 1.4.2
});
</script>

I have made a testcase:[http://jsfiddle.net/FqTuK/]
Please Run with jQuery 1.4.4 and jQuery 1.4.3

Escaping with / or / / does not work either :(

In jQuery 1.4.4 the quoting of the attribute value in an attribute selector is mandatory (check on api.jquery.com). And when adding quotes all of the test you posted work.
There is a ticket open for variation where the attribute value is unquoted but all offending meta-characters are escaped.

This ticket is not a exactly duplicate of #7539.
This is about IE6-7, FF3.0. And the other affects IE8.

@anonymous thanks. Nice catch. Looks like I got distracted by the comments zevero made on this ticket which where more related to #7539 .
To get to the bottom of this I made a new reduced test case
As I originally already had determined in my first comment to this report
I can reproduce this only with browsers which don't support qSA (e.g. IE6/7) so I guess it's a Sizzle problem.
And this holds true. The error is caused by a bad regex match in Sizzle on this line where the CLASS regex incorrectly matches.

I think this is related - http://jsfiddle.net/v6yJw/ in latest Safari on Mac.

Forgot to include my email, and to note that in jQuery 1.2.6 it passes, but as of 1.3.2 it fails.

Never mind that JSFiddle test - I reread http://api.jquery.com/attribute-contains-word-selector/ and apparently ~= requires that the word be delimited by whitespace, and I'm thinking of *=.
