@openjck: Yes, and according to the spec http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/browsers.html#valid-browsing-context-name-or-keyword that is the correct behavior. Maybe it's better to do a check to see if `this` has `target` and it's not `_self`, `_parent` or `_top`. But on the other hand, will that ever happen?
