holder.js makes jQuery's show() method no working in IE8

[0x-r4bbit]

I have no idea what holder.js is doing in the core, but recently I had the problem that jQuery's show() method stops working in IE8 when passing any argument to it. After hours of debugging and researching it turned out, that this bug only appears when holder.js is included.

For me it felt pretty weird that holder.js influences jQuery's functionality in IE8, so I made a lot of tests. Unfortunately, there's nothing one can do.

So, is this a known bug?

I just ran some IE8 tests with .show() and Holder, they don't seem to affect each other. Please isolate the bug and paste your code on Gist.
