Views exposed filters using ajax cause divitis

The response.data contains a space character at the end.

Taken from misc/ajax.js:

  // We don't know what response.data contains: it might be a string of text
    // without HTML, so don't rely on jQuery correctly iterpreting
    // $(response.data) as new HTML rather than a CSS selector. Also, if
    // response.data contains top-level text nodes, they get lost with either
    // $(response.data) or $('<div></div>').replaceWith(response.data).
    var new_content_wrapped = $('<div></div>').html(response.data);
    var new_content = new_content_wrapped.contents();

    // For legacy reasons, the effects processing code assumes that new_content
    // consists of a single top-level element. Also, it has not been
    // sufficiently tested whether attachBehaviors() can be successfully called
    // with a context object that includes top-level text nodes. However, to
    // give developers full control of the HTML appearing in the page, and to
    // enable Ajax content to be inserted in places where DIV elements are not
    // allowed (e.g., within TABLE, TR, and SPAN parents), we check if the new
    // content satisfies the requirement of a single top-level element, and
    // only use the container DIV created above when it doesn't. For more
    // information, please see http://drupal.org/node/736066.
    if (new_content.length != 1 || new_content.get(0).nodeType != 1) {
      new_content = new_content_wrapped;
    }

So with the space character at the end, new_content_wrapped will contain:

<div><div class="view...">...</div> </div>

And because of this new_content_wrapped.contents() will have a length of 2, as it will contain a TextNode besides the top level ElementNode. The problem is in views-view.tpl.php:
