touchmove events not sent

I've got a page that listens for touch events. If you touch and drag right away all is fine, but if you hesitate a moment after the touchstart, no touchmove events ever arrive. All event handlers call preventDefault().

The test page below prints each event it receives as you move across the rectangle.
