I stepped through the execution in Safari 5.0.3, and the click handler is triggered. This is a significant issue that impacts major apps like Google Analytics. The only workaround appears to be setting the anchor's target attribute so that the page loads in a new window, e.g., target="_blank". Opening a new window disrupts the user experience and is frowned upon.
