Escaped selectors for attributes don't work using "find()", but they work using "$()".
I would understand if they never worked, but I assumed "find()" and "$()" were doing the same thing...
As a workaround I'm quoting the value, but it's surprising.
Updated to jQuery 3.4.1 a few minutes ago.

var selector = '[data-id=' + $.escapeSelector('0_some_$id') + ']';
console.log($(selector).length);
console.log($('html').find(selector).length);Output:

"Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [data-id=\30 _some_\$id]
