In almost all cases, they should be real links to a fallback resource (in many cases, the same as the resouce that is injected into the popped up window). (They may originally have been introduced to allow for obsolete browsers that didn't abort the native semantics on getting a false return from an onclick event handler, but, for me, simply create dead links.)
