[jQuery] replaceWith bug in jQuery 1.4?

[teknoFX]

There appears to be a bug in the jQuery 1.4 implementation of
replaceWith.  If you try to replace an element with just plain text,
jQuery removes the element altogether and does not swap in the text.
It works fine if the text is surrounded by tags.  For example:

div id=foothis is some text/div

Doing: $(#foo).replaceWith(hello world) will remove the div and
anything inside it
Doing: $(#foo).replaceWith(bhello world/b) works fine!

As a workaround for the meantime, I am doing this:
x = $(#foo).parent();
$(#foo).replaceWith(hackhello world/hack);
x.html(x.html().replace(/[\/]*hack/g,''));

Any ideas?  Is this a known bug already?

Thanks!

From the replaceWith documentation, emphasis mine: Replaces all matched
elements with the specified HTML or DOM elements. This returns the JQuery
element that was just replaced, *which has been removed from the DOM*.

This is not a bug, if u want to replace data contained on the element, you
can use operator $(element).html('any html or text');
