Summary onclick handler set from popup doesn't work

The attached sample file has two links "CLICK ME" and "OPEN POPUP". When you first click "CLICK ME" an alert dialog will open and print "A". Then if you click "OPEN POPUP", a popup will open and inside the popup it calls a method back on the parent page which changes the onclick handler of the "CLICK ME" link. The popup then closes itself. In Safari, the "CLICK ME" link will no longer work. In all of Firefox, IE and Opera the "CLICK ME" link will now open an alert dialog and print "B". My guess is that Safari is incorrectly cleaning up the onclick handler which was assigned by the popup javascript code when the popup closes, even though the call was made from the window.parent (main window) object and referenced a function that is defined on the main window.
