I was able to eliminate the problem by finding all places in jQuery that set innerHTML and wrapping the value being set with toStaticHTML().

So, for example:

div.innerHTML = "   a";

became:

div.innerHTML = toStaticHTML("   a");

To be safe, I've also defined this just before jQuery is defined, in case the file is used in a normal browser:

window.toStaticHTML = window.toStaticHTML || function (s) { return s; };

To me that seemed to be the safest change, although it required patching a dozen places in jQuery. (don't use a var statement before the toStaticHTML)
