draggable has premature stop in IE

draggable has premature stop in IE

I am working on an editor of sorts where portions of the document being edited can be moved around to other areas.  These "blocks" move around fine in Firefox. In IE, however, we are getting a stop event in the draggable before the user lets up on the mouse, particularly when the user is dragging upwards.

Here is a very stripped down version of our editor on JSBin:

We think it may have something to do with the fact that we move our placeholder out from under the helper or the mouse. When we stop removing or moving the placeholder, the drag does not stop prematurely (and of course we don’t get the indication we need to give to the user.)

Does anyone have any experience with this behavior?  Is the DOM manipulation causing the mouseup event to fire, or some other event that causes draggable's stop?
