So,

It looks like Yahoo! changed their API such that OpenLayers breaks.

When you have another OpenLayers Layer (like a WMS layer, as is the case
in the spherical mercator example) over the Yahoo! layer, then clicks
are caught by that layer, and the Yahoo layer can't stop them.

We intentionally try to prevent this with the EventPane, but it seems
that that no longer works in the case of Yahoo.

As a temporary workaround, simply add:

 map.addLayer(new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector());

to your map. (If you have to support Safari 2 or Safari on the iPhone,
you'll need to use trunk/2.7 for this to work.)
