This is probably the most glaring flaw in RC0: any event types that are not part of the DOM L2 Events spec, but are nonetheless honored by one or more browsers, are handled incorrectly by Prototype as custom events.
We've got to figure out a way around this, even if it means we create a whitelist of all known event types to work in modern browsers. The convenience of handling both custom and standard events with the same API shouldn't make it harder to (for instance) skate on the bleeding edge of Web Forms 2. I'll make sure we figure this out before RC1.
