[IE9] When an <a> contains a <br>, when you click the <br> the <a> changes to <a name="cke_range_marker">

[Jonathon Sim]

In ckeditor 3.6.1 and also the latest nightly demo, eg ​http://nightly.ckeditor.com/7084/_samples/replacebyclass.html

If you have HTML where a link contains a break, like so:

<a href="http://google.com">In IE9 click the end of this line -&gt;<br />
	then the link turns into an anchor</a>

When you click on the end of the line containing the <br>, your link will immediately change to an anchor. The source is changed to this:

<p>
	<a name="cke_range_marker">In IE9 click the end of this line -&gt;<br />
	then the link turns into an anchor</a></p>

I have tested this with IE8, which doesn't have this problem. Other browsers (firefox, chrome etc) do not either.

Reproducible from CKEditor 3.5.4 (although in 3.5.4, clicked link looked like text).

When clicking at the end of the line the JS error is thrown:
Message: DOM Exception: NOT_FOUND_ERR (8)
Line:760[[BR]] URI: /_source/plugins/selection/plugin.js

Is there any update on this issue? It affects all users in the 32bit version of IE 9. It exists in 3.6.2 as well.
