I'm don't know if the following explains the browser differences your 
are seeing, but ...

Event.preventDefault() does not cancel *all* further processing.  It 
cancels the default action associated with the event.  It does not stop 
the event from bubbling.

In order to stop bubbling, call event.stopPropagation().  See: 
http://api.jquery.com/event.stopPropagation/
