I did some looking at the code. The $.load in 1.1.4 and 1.2 actually does eval scripts on IE without adding evalScripts back into the lib. The eval is in the domManip. It looks like $.load calls .html which calls .append. append calls domManip. The only problem is that the code doesn't do a deep search for script tags in IE. Therefore, for IE, you script tags have to be at the top level. They don't appear to get evaluated if they are buried deeper in the document.
