whitespace causes parse error for $(someHtmlString)

[AJ ONeal]

HTML:

<ul id="my-list">
  <li>Foo</li>
</ul>

JavaScript:

var $ = require('ender');

$($('#my-list').html().trim()) // works
$($('#my-list').html()) // fails

TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of null

this is qwery's html creation method. i can see where it would fail here... really it just needs an optional whitespace matcher of \s* at the front
