Facebook like button is asking to confirm the action

To begin with, I've already read the following topics:

Including this topic:

There are at least 25 apps hosted under dev.anuary.com host, sub domain of anuary.com. Neither of them ask for "like" action to be confirmed.

Worth mentioning, is that there is another website ( http://sinonimai.lt ) hosted on the same host, that had a fan base of 10 000+ people and was recently disabled by Facebook. I didn't manage to contact Facebook regarding either of the issues, therefore I simply took off the like-box from the latter website. Hopefully, temporarily.

The most annoying of all, is that even if you confirm the "like" action, "like" doesn't get submitted. I've tried on multiple friend accounts, different browsers (possible bug to report?).

I've ignored it for over a month. But it doesn't go away.

There are no hidden overlays, no bouding elements or anything that'd be considered unusual placement of the "like" button element. The website and the button itself has been placed very recently. The open-graph tags are in place and changing app ID doesn't change the behavior.

However, the page content is loaded dynamically. What Facebook parser sees is pretty much an empty page.

Can this be an issue?

Unfortunately, I think you are running into a recent Facebook change/design decision. Here are a couple bug reports discussing this issue:
