Answer 1

Using html5sortable and newer JQuery events (delegate is deprecated, answer 3 years after initial question), bug still affects Chrome 37. Contenteditable spans and html5sortable seem to play nice in other browsers. I know this is only partially relevant, just keeping documentation on changes I've noticed.

$(document).on('focus', 'li span[contenteditable]', function() {
    $(this).parent().parent().sortable('destroy'); // removes sortable from the whole parent UL
});

$(document).on('blur', 'li span[contenteditable]', function() {
    $(this).parent().parent().sortable({ connectWith: '.sortable' }); // re-adds sortable to the parent UL
});
