I have this code:
$link.click(function (e) {
debugger;
});
When the link is clicked and the debugger engages, e is a regular browser event, and not a jQuery event. There's no .stopPropagation() or .preventDefault().
Why is this?

Try
$link.bind("click", function (e) {
var jQueryEvent = e,
browserEvent = e.originalEvent;
});

Because, as you said, it a regular browser event, and browser event doesn't have that kind of method.
To stop the propagation, just return false.

e should be an instance of jQuery.Event, so those methods should be available:
$("a").click(function(e) {
alert(e instanceof jQuery.Event); // true
});
Can you provide more context, such as the debugger output?
