Nope, stil doesn't work for me. I've narrowed it down, and it has
something to do with DragEvents (I have draggable layers in my doc). I
set up a simple test case:

  http://www.mentalcollective/test2.html

If you click the "stuff" link, it will display an alert. After you click
Okay, it loads the url from the link.

But look at:
  http://www.mentalcollective/test3.html

The is the exact same code as test2, except I commented out the
  DragEvent.enableDragEvents(myLayer)
line. And on this one, clicking the "stuff" link will *not* load the
url.

Something in the document is altered when DragEvents are enabled. And
even disabling them doesn't undo it (see the "Disable Dragging" link in
the blue layer).
