This is a feature, and is used throughout jQuery internally. It's not
very
well documented as such, but Timo is adding it to the documentation as
to
resolve the confusion around this. $( '<div>' ) is a shortcut added to
jQuery for our convenience, and I think it's reasonable to use it.

I've always used '<div />'. Recently though, I learned that you no
longer need to do that in jQuery.
And since have been using '<div>'.
That's an unintentional side effect. jQuery does not officially support $(
'<div>' ) without a closing </div> or />.

(and maybe more accurately).
We had this discussion yesterday, and addClass is more direct than prop(
'className' ) in every way and unless you mean to actually replace all
existing classes, addClass is preferred. prop is there for a reason and
it's also safe to use as escaping goes, but obviously not all attributes
are actually properties, so it's not like we should stop using attr.
