Uh oh, I know what it is. It's a bug in pushStack. 
 
If the last arg to pushStack is a function, it does .each(fn) with the
filtered set but returns the original set. If there are two trailing
function args, the first is treated as above. However, if the filtered set
returned nothing (and thus fn was never called) it does .each(fn2) with the
original set. Kind of like an if-then-else. It's never been documented but I
think it will be eventually.
 
I think this should fix it:
 
 pushStack: function(a,args) {
  var fn = args && args.length > 1 && args[args.length-1];
  var fn2 = args && args.length > 2 && args[args.length-2];

}) would return nothing. But it doesn't. It returns the original group of
elements. At least for me.

Hm... I also tested this and filter didn't prune the list with my function
returning false. 

Here's the filter function out of 1.0.3 which checks if t is a function and
pushes the result of jQuery.grep(this, t) onto the stack.

filter: function(t) {
        return this.pushStack(
            *SNIP*

            typeof t == "function" &&
            jQuery.grep( this, t ) || 

            jQuery.filter(t,this).r, arguments );
    },

Now in the grep function it operates on the list of elements in elms. It
calls the function we defined (fn) and if fn returns false it shouldn't add
them to the result array. 

grep: function(elems, fn, inv) {
        *SNIP*
        var result = [];

        // Go through the array, only saving the items
        // that pass the validator function
        for ( var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++ )
            if ( !inv && fn(elems[i],i) || inv && !fn(elems[i],i) )
                result.push( elems[i] );

        return result;
    },

Am I missing something here? 

Cheers,
