[jQuery] 1.1.4 Bug: IE7, TD, & append element

[jQuery] 1.1.4 Bug: IE7, TD, & append element


Just want to confirm that others are having this problem.
$("body").append(
    $("<table border='1'/>").append(
        $("<tr/>").append(
            $("<td/>").append(
                $("<i/>").html("hello world")
            )
        )
    )
);
Using jQuery 1.1.4 this works with FF 2.0.0.6 PC and Safari 3.0 PC but
does not in IE7
If I roll back to jQuery 1.1.3 it works for all.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a legit bug? In the real world
application I am attempting to render a table from JSON data with some
cells containing anchor tags.
BTW $("<td/>").html("<i>hello world</i>") works, but that is less than
ideal.
