Originally reported on Google Code with ID 1832

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create selenium instance of type WebDriverBackedSelenium
2. Attempt to click on a link in this way -- selenium.click("link=example");

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is it should click the link and navigate to that page. I am seeing
the following message:

any stacktrace information)

java.version: '1.6.0_24'
Driver info: driver.version: RemoteWebDriver

Selenium2 on Mac OSX
