Might be a little late, but... you failed to include the full description for $.getScript(), or it has changed since you posted this question. The full description is as follows:
"Before jQuery 1.2, getScript was only able to load scripts from the same domain as the original page. As of 1.2, you can now load JavaScript files from any domain. Warning: Safari 2 and older is unable to evaluate scripts in a global context synchronously. If you load functions via getScript, make sure to call them after a delay." The sentence that you mentioned is preceded by "Warning:"; thus, it looks like that sentence is tied to the warning. Specifically, for Safari 2 (and earlier), we cannot guarantee that the callback will be called after the script has executed via synchronous loading. So, for Safari 2 (and older), you should take this into consideration when writing your callback.
