Comment (by dlh):

 I can replicate this behavior, and I think it might be traceable to
 r38599.

 Previously, the call to `process()` inside `init()` didn't pass the
 current `element`, so, inside `process()`, `$element` would be set to `$(
 document )` while registering event handlers.

 Restoring the previous version of `init()` seems to fix the issue. But as
 I'm not certain why `init()` was changed, going back might cause side-
 effects that I've overlooked, if it's even the right course to begin with.
