Comment (by Marventus):

 Hi, there. I apologize in advanced for reopening the discussion on a
 17-month old ticket. Here's the thing: has anyone actually tried to force
 jquery to load in the footer? Using latest wp-trunk version, TwentyTwelve
 theme, and all plugins disabled, the following plugin fails to load jQuery
 in the footer:
   function tgi_jquery_in_footer_test() {
   wp_register_script('tgi-jquery-js', "//some/uri/name.js",
 array("jquery"), "0.1", true);
   wp_enqueue_script('tgi-jquery-js');
   }
   add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'tgi_jquery_in_footer_test');

 Even re-registering jquery with the same options and in_footer param set
 to true doesn't seem to cut it:
   function tgi_jquery_in_footer_test() {
   wp_deregister_script("jquery");
   wp_register_script("jquery", false, array("jquery-core", "jquery-
 migrate"), "1.11", true);
   wp_register_script('tgi-jquery-js', "//some/uri/name.js",
 array("jquery"), "0.1", true);
   wp_enqueue_script('tgi-jquery-js');
   }
   add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'tgi_jquery_in_footer_test');

 Could anyone try to replicate this?
