The web script behaves exactly as it should for a click event fired on middle click. The only difference with behaviour in other engines is that the event is not fired.

The script even performs some validation on the event (istats-1.js, line 897) to detect clicks aimed at new tabs and windows with modifier keys and refrain from changing the window href on these clicks - it just doesn't check e.button.

In other words, this is a specific example of behaviour that bug 22382 seeks to define. You can classify it as you please but I assumed a bug that is nothing more than a reproduction case for another bug would be considered unnecessary clutter.
