It all has to do with <wicket:head> and panels being able to contribute <body onLoad="xxx"> attributes to the page. In order to support that feature, a webmarkupcontainer is automatically created and associated with the body tag of the page (in case of an exception, on the exception page you can see a _body component being a child of the Page). That happens always because wicket does not know upfront if there will be a panel contributing to the body or not (That will only change in wicket 2). The webmarkupcontainer however it usually invisble, it delegates all events to his parent (the page). The use case where there is a wicket:id associated with the body is currently not covered in the sources. Would you please open an RFI for it. Thanks
