For me the middle button in FF opens in a new tab in all cases. I don't think this is anything that JHS has any control over. What happens with normal links on normal pages? Perhaps your FF config has changed.
I get the same new tab behavior in Chrome. Note that the middle button opens the link in a new tab, but leaves focus on the current tab. This is often not what you want so ctrl+shift+click is still your best bet. Not using javascript to open a new tab is not a security concern. At least not for me or for JHS. But the web politically correct police say one shouldn't do this. And my understanding is that many users have javascript configured to prevent it. I think this remains an open question that may be resolved in pacman updates after the official release.
