I added the following method to FBTestPluginAPI:

void FBTestPluginAPI::eval(std::string str)
{
    m_host->evaluateJavaScript(str);
}

I then from javascript executed: plugin().eval("alert('Test')")

it works just fine for me using IE 8 on Windows 7 with FireBreath 1.3.1

Could you send me a project that reproduces the issue?

Since I haven't been able to reproduce this and it's been nearly a month since 
I requested feedback, we will close this issue unless jazzzz comes back to tell 
us that there is still a problem.
