These problems are related to making links

<a href="javascript:open('/real/url/to/resource')">linktext</a>

instead of

<a href="/real/url/to/resource" onclick="return open(this.href);">linktext</a>

Everyone should do it the second way whenever the opened page has a
real url known at page-generation time.  Benefits are, as mentioned by
Luna,
that open-in-new-tab works. It's the web-2.0-way to surf. :)

PS. With js injection using prototypejs and jQuery one can do even
cleaner things, such as adding the onclick event to all links with a
certain class. But I have yet to experience all that much benefit from
such approaches.
(Thanks in advance for not starting a thread on the merits though :)
