actually, while creating the test, I started cutting unrelated parts
from my included scripts, and once I removed my overwrite of the
Element function (which was overwritten between the two method
additions), the second set of methods were defined.

My overwrite is this, in case anyone is interested in to why it was
causing problems with IE8  and addMethods alone:

if (Prototype.Browser.IE)
  (function() {
    var element = this.Element;
    this.Element = function(tagName, attributes) {
      attributes = attributes || { };
      tagName = tagName.toLowerCase();
      var cache = Element.cache;
      if (Prototype.Browser.IE) {
        var attributeString = '';
        for (var key in attributes) {
          if (typeof attributes[key] == 'string') {
            var name = key == 'className' ? 'class' : key ==
'htmlFor' ? 'for' : key;
            attributeString += name + '="' + attributes[key] + '"';
            delete attributes[key];
          }
        }
        tagName = '<' + tagName + ' ' + attributeString + '>';
        return Element.writeAttribute(document.createElement(tagName),
attributes);
      }
      if (!cache[tagName]) cache[tagName] = Element.extend
(document.createElement(tagName));
      return Element.writeAttribute(cache[tagName].cloneNode(false),
attributes);
    };
    Object.extend(this.Element, element || { });
  }).call(window);

^ the above is written to achieve this: new Element('div',
{onclick:"alert(1)"}), or adding string callbacks when creating an
element (which I need). I will just make this function exists in IE6 &
7, but not 8 for now, unless someone can tell me what exactly is
causing this.

If someone wants to, I can still attach a simple test for this.
