From http://api.jquery.com/jQuery/ -

When passing in complex HTML, some browsers may not generate a DOM that exactly replicates the HTML source provided. As mentioned, jQuery uses the browser's .innerHTML property to parse the passed HTML and insert it into the current document. During this process, some browsers filter out certain elements such as , <title>, or elements. As a result, the elements inserted may not be representative of the original string passed.

That seems a bit strange for me; you could argue the same for elements, but instead they are parsed by wrapping them up into something, so they are correctly transformed into DOM elements (see https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/manipulation.js#L33).

So my guess is that special cases like <HTML> should also have their special strategy to be parsed.

@mjesun Keep in mind though that the need to create a full HTML document starting at a element is pretty rare. The cases you pointed out that we currently fix are not rare, and our attempts at fixing them are not bulletproof but usually sufficient. If you really need to create a full document, take a look at DOMImplementation.createHTMLDocument.
