Another option is to add a transparent button over the button you are animating. In your particular case you might not be able to use this, as you are moving the button, but you might be able to create an overlay button big enough to cover from the start position to the final one.

I had this problem, and in my case using UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction didn't work. I was animating the alpha of a UIButton inside a UIBarButtonItem (created with initWithCustomView:) to make a pulsating effect, and that option wouldn't work. I don't like the NSTimer option either (not smooth), so in the end I just added an overlay button, which I don't like, but works flawlessly.
