Attribute selector not working in IE8 compatibility mode

Description
In IE8 with compatibility mode enabled, this selector doesn't work:
$('#ctl00_contentPagePanel_lstActivities option[selected="selected"]').text()
However this selector does work:
$('#ctl00_contentPagePanel_lstActivities option:eq[0]').text()
If I turn off compatibility mode, the first selector works fine. This indicates there is a problem with the attribute selector as defined above in comp mode.

Verified IE8 compat is pulling the selected dom property instead of the selected attribute.
For your code/use, you can use option:selected to achieve a cross-browser solution.
