Up until recently Google always seemed fairly respectful of users' maps and 
whenever they wanted to provide a link out they would always open that link 
in a new tab/window.  With the release of the visual refresh this mindset 
seems to have somewhat evaporated or perhaps [hopefully] this is just a bug.

Here is a screenshot of the info windows I am referring to:

The "more info" link to the Google+ page opens in a new tab/window which is 
nice however the royalalbertamuseum.ca link does not.

The only real fix is some kind of interval to automatically look for new 
links in the Google Map and fix the issue.  Such as:
setInterval(function() {
$("div.gm-website a").attr("target","_blank"); //using jQuery for brevity
},100);
