Description
Found this one when the document.location test in test/unit/ajax.js failed.
jQuery.isPlainObject( document.location ) throws an Invalid Pointer exception in IE8. The inspector shows that document.location.constructor is an Invalid Pointer and as such cannot be accessed at all.
I suspect document.location is not the only variable with that issue so adding object !== document.location as a safeguard doesn't seem like an option.

So, in short, we could try/catch and return false, except the first time atound, it won't throw an exception and return true.

Ben Alman doesn't seem to have an exception thrown at him using an XP VM with IE 8.0.6001.18372. I'm using IE 8.0.6001.18975 on Vista (no VM).

Also, FWIW, window.location or just location should be preferred to document.location.

IE 8.0.7600.16385 on Windows 7, alerts "true" both times with no crash.

I’m not able to reproduce this issue. XP SP3 8.0.6001.18702. jaubourg, are you sure your IE is up to date?

@snover: like I said, 8.0.6001.18975. Vista does not propose any update.
Even if the crash is a temporary IE bug OR a Vista problem OR a jaubourg's Vista problem (who knows? ;) ), fact is it returns true for everybody else, which it shouldn't.
Seems it's even more complicated than this. See: http://jsfiddle.net/vZ6xf/
When you load the page, jQuery.isPlainObject( document.location ) returns true. When you click "Run", it throws an exception.
Probably something to do with the cache.
Gotta love IE.
