Adding this metatag to the header fixed this problem.

is that a long term fix or just a temporary workaround?

to workaround this problem, just call setCapture on mousedown and 
releaseCapture on mouseup for IE8. That works for me.

try putting following code in your script beginning~

    $('body').bind('selectstart', function(event) {
        if ($(event.target).hasClass('jcrop-tracker')) {
            return false;
        }
    });

solved the problem by adding 'var' declarations in jquery.Jcrop.js l.529 & l.543
