Summary A weird error message when trying to invoke "new Element"

When executing the code in bug URL, the following message appears in JavaScript console: "TypeError: Value [object ElementConstructor] (result of expression Element) is not a constructor. Cannot be used with new." It seems confusing to say that ElementConstructor is not a constructor. Firefox says: 'Object cannot be created in this context" code: "9'.
