Have you figured out why this is? Or a workaround of some sort?

No idea. I am getting by with inline templates. Ryan, any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?

I think the issue is due to memoization done by knockout and kendo does not have any special handling for that.

For templates, Knockout tries to insert placeholders (as html comments) during initial pass and then turns around and replaces them with actual markup, seems like on IE8; inserting html comments using .html("html comments") is not supported (http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/13077) and thats what id done by kendo with the markup returned.

String build by knockout:

<!--[ko_memo:6839b3fb55657205]--><!--[ko_memo:b9028631869398]--><!--[ko_memo:b3bbba86664b9fe]--><!--    [ko_memo:39a61b20a3ee154]--><!--[ko_memo:412106798f999a2]--><!--[ko_memo:1daa1ecefe2992]-->

Code in kendo.web.js v2012.3.1315:
