I can confirm this as well, together with the clipboardData method flaw.

It's a surprise that Microsoft didn't fix this globally in SP1, instead of
applying checks to each individual method and object. At first, I assumed
they had made a generic fix, but with this in the open it is clear that they
only patched specifics and that there will be many more vulnerabilities in
the method/object caching category.
