Building on onlydimon’s solution:

var input = $("#input")
// Initialize autocomplete
input.autocomplete()
// Retrieve the autocomplete list and remove the mouseenter event
// which seems to trip up iOS Safari

I narrowed down the list of events to just jQuery's 'mouseenter' event. Removing just this one fixes the bug for me. Also, no need to remove it every time the list is opened; once is enough.
