Thanks for contributing to jQuery - this behaviour is actually known, expected and tested.

If you look in the src/data module, you'll find the following: 

	// The following elements throw uncatchable exceptions if you
	// attempt to add expando properties to them.
	noData: {
		"embed": true,
		// Ban all objects except for Flash (which handle expandos)
		"object": "clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000",
		"applet": true
	},

It's even documented here:
