JQM 1.4.1 crashes in IE 8 and old android platform

JQM 1.4.1 crashes in IE 8 and old android platform

UPDATE:
Found  a solution but it envolves JQM 1.4.1 development (see my next post).

Hi,
I tried version 1.4.1 but I have found a problem in old IE 8 browser and also on a Samsung Galaxy fit.
Version 1.4.0 works fine on both the platforms.
Besides, for both versions I used Jquery 1.10.2

With version 1.4.1 IE debugger says:

row 3195: expected identifier.

and this error crashes all JQM initialization so all the pages are not rendered.

The following is the involved code inside animationComplete() function:

// If we could not read a duration use the default
if ( duration === 0 || duration === undefined ) {
/* row 3195 */ duration = $.fn.animationComplete.default;
}

I think, but i'm not sure, that the problem could be the 'default' identifier which is not defined as a property of the function.

For the moment i will come back to the 1.4.0 waiting for any help or suggestions.

Thank you
