When I handle some event and I try to dispatch passed event object to some
element then I get an exception: 

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIDOMEventTarget.dispatchEvent]" 
nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" ]

In the next example exception will be raised when you click on button:

<button onclick="this.dispatchEvent(event)"/>

This code worked fine in mozilla 1.8b2.

Reproducible: Always
