jQuery.get callback not called in IE6

I have some Javascript code containing calls to jQuery.get(). I'm passing a callback to receive the response from the server. In Firefox 3.5 (Windows and Linux) and IE8, the callback is called reliably. In IE6, it's never called. I've tried jQuery 1.3 and 1.4 -- same result.

Doing a top level navigation with drop downs: have IE bugs
