I have investigate a bit further and finally found what is the real problem

It seams that Firefox and Chrome support the value "auto" for the
pointer-events property, which is not a valid value according to the SVG
spec.


The following case inherit the parent value as expected in every browser :

<g style="pointer-events:none;">
    <rect x="20"  y="20" width="200" height="200"
style="pointer-events:foo;" onclick="alert('I am clicked')" />
</g>


But the following variant fail with Firefox and Chrome and you show the JS
alert when you click on the square but you should not because auto is not a
valid value for pointer-events :

<g style="pointer-events:none;">
    <rect x="20"  y="20" width="200" height="200"
style="pointer-events:auto;" onclick="alert('I am clicked')" />
</g>
