$.fn.remove does not trigger remove event for <select>s

Minimal test case:

$('<select><option>Option</option></select>')
    .appendTo('body')
    .bind('remove', function() {
        alert('This dialog should show...');
    })
    .remove();

This code used to work with jQuery 1.3 but no longer works with 1.4, breaking certain widgets that are meant to be attached to <select> elements (in my case, jquery-dropdownchecklist).

The bug is caused by behaviour changed in jQuery 1.4: $.makeArray (called by $.fn.add) now checks for a length property, which a <select> DOM element will have.
