Square brackets handled improperly in dojo attribute queries

Browser: Firefox 2.0.0.14 OS: Mac OS X 10.5.2

I was unable to find any mention of this elsewhere, so I have to assume it's a bug. I apologize if it's already been addressed and I'm wasting someone's time.

I have a bunch of checkboxes (with dojoType="dijit.form.CheckBox?") all named 'unitType[]' (the square brackets at the end cause PHP to treat the collection of them as one array). I've tried doing the following queries for them:

var foo = dojo.query("input[name='unitType[]']");
var foo = dojo.query("input[name='unitType\[\]']");
var foo = dojo.query("input[name='unitType']");

None of these find the checkboxes. I am positive these elements exist, with the name unitType[], and I tried it with a few other square-bracket-names with the same result.

I believe the problem is related to it incorrectly parsing square brackets. When I did each of the following queries:

dojo.query("input[name^='unitType[]']");
dojo.query("input[name^='unitType\[\]']");

It finds them, as well as the checkbox named "unitTypeCkAll" (which it shouldn't find, because 'unitTypeCkAll' does not start with 'unitType[]'). This sounds to me like it's ignoring the square brackets entirely.
