Is this a bug? I haven't been able to test it on Windows, but space does not trigger native links on any browser on Mac.

This seems to be one of the UX differences between links and buttons: buttons trigger on mousedown + mouseup, keydown.enter, and keyup.space (the syntheticclick for actual <button> elements); links trigger on mousedown + mouseup and keydown.enter.
