.append($foo) evaluates <script> tags, even after removed from $foo

I'm filing this bug and noting that this may be a misunderstanding in how I think jQuery works, but I think I was able to reduce the problem to something that makes sense. In the provided test case, I am making the following assumption: $(foo), where foo is a string determined not to be a selector, does not evaluate javascript code within foo.

Also reproducible in 1.4.2, and 1.4.3.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report and providing a testcase!

Until this bug gets fixed you can use $('body').append($content.filter(":not(script)")); as a work around for this case.

Ohh, yeah - that's not good. Flagging for an upcoming release.
