I'm pretty sure this is not a bug, how do you think user agents handle the
following:

HTML:
<a href="myanchor:hover">A bad ID string</a>

CSS:
a#myanchor:hover {color:#000;}

Will the anchor be black automatically or only when a cursor hovers over it?

According to CSS2 and above, colons are reserved for defining psuedo-classes
(:hover,:first-child, etc).

The document you're referencing below is a an older and broader guide of
what valid HTML (as a subset of SGML) is, but does not cover the
interpretation that must take place between CSS and (X)HTML documents.

It seems that using a ":" sign in a CSS selector by id in jQuery does
not work.
Since having ":" is valid in ids and names according to w3c (http://
www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-cdata), I assume it is a bug in
jQuery?
