Note that if a Polygon has opacity 0, we round that up to 0.01 so that its
interior is clickable.  Note too that you can set zIndex on your Polygons to
explicitly control layering.

Oh my god, you are not going to believe how special case this scenario
is. I can now reproduce the bug but only under the most specific of
conditions. I'll work on narrowing it down further in the mean time,
but I just had to report what I've got so far because it's so... gene
ce quoi.

* Case: *
Browser: Firefox (Only) - Reproduced with v3.6
Maps:
http://library.ucf.edu/Administration/Maps/Default_unpublished.asp?develop=1
Process:
#1. Load map.
#2. Switch to Map, Hybrid, Satellite.
#3. Switch to 4th Floor (Custom Map w/ Study Rooms, 1, 3, 4).
being fired.
#4. Click any study room.
#4.1. Special Note: If you choose 4th Floor, clicking any study room
BEFORE zoom, results in no event being fired. Clicking only study
rooms 425-429 AFTER zoom results in no event
#4.2. Special Note: If you choose 3rd Floor, A zoom BEFORE clicking a
study room results in no event being fired. Any time after the first
zoom, all events will fire normally.
#4.3. Special Note: If you choose 1st Floor, Zooming has NO effect on
whether events are fired or not. They are never fired, ever.
#5. Changing the map type to another custom map makes every polygon
work flawlessly.
#5.1 Special Note: Changing to a built-in Google map type and back to
a custom map has intermittent results and *sometimes* reinitiates the
event failures.

All polygons are created during the same loop. The only conditional is
differentiation between Computers Polygon and StudyRoom Polygon.
Events are attached to the studyroom polygons uniformly in the same
loop. Theoretically (and in practice, other than Firefox), all
polygons should behave the same since it's literally the same line of
code that attaches the event listener for all of the polygons.

Unrelated (perhaps): An AJAX request is fired on maptypeid_changed
which then touches only the polygons whose IDs are mentioned in the
AJAX response. Their colors are set and their content property is set
for later use.

So after writing all this, I started to just comment out possible
sections of code and narrowed the problem down to a polygon ordering/
layering/stacking issue. The above linked version of the page runs
some additional debug and development code. In that code it creates a
rectangle around the world. The fill opacity is set to 0, but it's
drawn first and only once. When this rectangle is not drawn to the
map, everything works perfectly fine. The polygons for the studyrooms
are redrawn each time the map type is changed to a specific floor.

For me and my specific case, this is all now apparently moot, since
nobody in production will have the development mode enabled, but the
stacking issue itself could be of importance to someone else.
