Interesting that this one worked for you. I wouldn't expect it to,
since the .get() method is supposed to return a DOM element (when an
index is passed in), and addClass should only operate on the jQuery
object.
I would expect this to work:
$(el).parents('div').eq(0).addClass('myClass');
and this:
$(el).parents('div:eq(0)').addClass('myClass');
and this:
$(el).parents('div:first').addClass('myClass');
and, in 1.4 (sneak peek!), this:
$(el).parents('div').first().addClass('myClass');
