It is part of the ECMA standard that the this passed during a function call or apply is converted to an object if it is not one. Simple demo, not using jQuery:

This isn't a bug.
The jQuery.ajax() documentation says:
context: This object will be made the context of all Ajax-related callbacks.
So passing anything other then an object / DOM element is an invalid usage of this option.
If this worked differently in earlier versions of jQuery it was purely coincidental. The behavior for unspecified/invalid usage of options is subject to change or might even be throwing errors in future versions.
Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report.
Please submit a reduced test case, which reproduces the issue you are experiencing, on http://jsfiddle.net. So that we can investigate this issue further. Also make sure to read the link given below, in order to provide a most useful bug report.
