Here is an elegant solution which allows onListItemClick to fire the way you think it should, and also allows any child views to receive events (or not, depending on how you want to set it.)

Android SDK documentation of descendantFocusability. Has been part of the SDK since Android 1.0. Other settings for android:descendantFocusability include "beforeDescendants" and "afterDescendants".

Example cluster_layout.xml which sets descendantFocusability (List items applied to cluster_list.xml via an ArrayAdapter):

Example cluster_list.xml, which has no bearing on this solution other than to show that it's intended for use in a ListFragment by having a ListView element with the id @id/android:list:
