I think an equally valid question is... what does jQuery intend to do
in such situations? Clearly, crashing is not the best option.

Anything that causes the code to completely crash should be avoided by
either checking for valid input (if some inputs are considered
invalid) or by deciding how to handle cases that don't have obvious
answers (like this case). It's not enough, IMO, to ignore the tough
questions of how jQuery should behave and point to an alternative. :)

In the example case:

#foo { padding: 5px 10px; }

you may want to consider returning [5,10,5,10] for example.
