My god? I think Im going mad? What the hell is wrong with this code?

        log(typeof t); 
        // This is fine, returns 'string', 
        // like a good ickle jquery function
        $.getJSON("/js/json/jsonsource.js",function(js){
            $.each(js.items, function(i, n){
                if( n.id == b_idx ){
                    $.each(n.pricing, function(y, h){
                        log(typeof t);  
                        // This goes mad?!? Returns 'object'.. 
                        // but I didnt change it? 
                        log(h.id == t); 
                        // This fails, I need to compare the value of t, 
                        // to a parameter here, but it wont let me cos 
                        // they are different datatypes..
                    });
                }
            });
        });

I've commented the code to show you whats going on.. Firebug spits out "string" for the first typeof, and "object" for the second, but I never cast it?

Any ideas? By the way, there's nothing wrong with any of the json retrieval, the only thing that fails is the comparison.

// This is fine, returns 'string',
