Happens also in Chrome.
And the reason is https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-summary-element:activation-behaviour

So the question is what should happen to the click event in that case.

I mean I think that for this kind of behaviour "click" is semantically bogus, but given it's specced like this I bet that ship has sailed...

So perhaps this should be closed as invalid? :-(

You could file a spec bug? I agree the behavior is odd. And if you file, link that there.
Otherwise this could be closed.
