Make sure your button is the first button on the form.

I found the answer to my own question. To simulate the "default
button" effect, you should create the button as html button, not a web
server control. You make the button and set it to be of type submit
and it works great. Of course you cannot set an onclick event for it
on the server side. But that is easy enough to deal with.
