In order for the onclick handlers to be fired, we have to create a DOM click 
event - see nsHTMLInputElement::Click, which does exactly that.

I'm working on, and have a fix in my tree for, related bug 25300.  Have a fix 
for this already?  If not, I can take this one and work it in to my other 
changes...

This is actually a subset of a proper fix for bug 25300.  I'll make sure this 
works when I make that checkin.
