Clone not working on IE8

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an Element with SVG jQuery PlugIn
2. Call cloneNode on the created Element
3. Strange things are happening

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected (Source Element which should be cloned):
 <rect style="fill:#ffdd55;stroke-width:1;stroke-miterlimit:4;stroke-dasharray:none" id="textarea1" class="area" width="428" height="245" x="271" y="503"/>

Actual Output:
        <rect style="length: 0; item: function() { return method.apply(context, (arguments.length) ? arguments : []); }; setProperty: function() { return method.apply(context, (arguments.length) ? arguments : []); }; getPropertyValue: function() { return method.apply(context, (arguments.length) ? arguments : []); }" addEventListener="function (t, l, u) {
