Why does the pagecontainer load event not work?

I have a page on my site with a popup div:

<div data-role="popup" id="MyPopup">
    <a href="#" data-rel="back" data-theme="a" data-icon="delete" 
      class="...">Close</a>
    <div id="Gaia_Ages_Content" class="...">
        <p>Oops! Could not find information for that item!</p>
    </div>
</div>

I use the .load method to display external HTML files in the popup:

$("MyPopup").load(_LoadUrl);

That much works just fine.

I have a handler for the "popupafterclose" event that resets the content of the popup to serve as an error message if the file to be loaded is not found:

$("MyPopup").on("popupafterclose",function(event, ui) {
    ...
    $thisPage_Popup.html('<div ... </div>');
});

This too works just fine.

What doesn't work is a second handler.

$("MyPopup").on("pagecontainerload",function(event, ui) {
    LinkExtTarget (_thisPage_Popup);
});

The point of this is to call a function that will force all external links to open in a new window. That function works when called elsewhere. The popupafterclose handler is triggered just when I expect it, and the function is executed properly. The pagecontainerload handler is NEVER triggered, and the external links are not handled as I thought they would be.

I'd appreciate any help.
