I have experienced this error too using jQuery 1.7.1.

The error was caused by myself! I used .text("foo") on an inputfield that used to be a <span>. So when I changed .text("foo") to .val("foo"), everything worked.

To find out what was causing the error, I started debugging, checking the callstack in the console everytime I stepped backwards.
