li:last and li.last are not the same element.
li.last is the <li class="last lastActive"> element, while li:last is
giving you the *last* LI in the collection of *all* the LI's
descending from ".leftNav ul" - that is the <li><a href="#">HAX</a></
li> element.
Enforcing the child relationship should give you the expected results:
$(".leftNav .menu > ul > li:last")[0] == $(".leftNav ul li.last")[0]
