Thanks for looking into this! First off, I have complicated my
question by not being careful with my reporting: The selector that
*did* work in fact used a '.' (I missed it above... i.e. $('acomment')
should be $('.acomment')) Sorry about that.
Further experimenting shows that this behavior is browser specific. I
see the described behavior in Chrome, but not in IE7. (In fact, I've
had to revert to 1.2.6 because the behavior is inconsistent between
browsers). I believe it is related to a bug that has been reported
concerning capitals in class names with Safari(i.e. WebKit):

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
