What's the issue?  Per DOM spec, click events fire for buttons other than the left mouse button (which is why there's a way to tell what button was actually clicked by examining the event).  So your expected results are just wrong, no?

Oh, and the "single alert" (when it should be "double alert") issue is known, iirc.
