In the following code, clicking the button triggers a form submission in Google Chome 48.

<form>
    <button>ok</button>
</form>
<script>
$(function(){
    $('form').submit(false) ;
    $('button').click(function(){ $('form').remove() }) ;
}) ;
</script>

However, the same test case without using jQuery does not trigger a form submission.

<form onsubmit="return false">  
    <button onclick="form.remove()">ok</button>
</form>

What's the expected behavior?
Both examples should be functionally equivalent.

Browsers affected: Google Chrome 48
jQuery version tested: jQuery 2.2

Also tested in Firefox 43, but the problem does not happen there.
