Actually no, my mistake, sorry!

Your example should work, with the call in question put in (not commented 
out). If it doesn't, then that's a bug in the relevant browsers. I just 
tried it in a recent WebKit nightly build and it seems to work with the 
line included.

If you omit the preventDefault() call, the drag shouldn't be allowed on 
the element on which the event wasn't canceled.
