Here is a temporary workaround that could help the community with testing in the meantime...

1) drag_and_drop_helper.js(https://gist.github.com/2362544) to your test/helpers directory

2) Create a new method in your test_helper.rb

 def drag_and_drop(source,target)

   js_filepath=File.dirname(__FILE__)+"/drag_and_drop_helper.js"
   js_file= File.new(js_filepath,"r")
   java_script=""

  while (line=js_file.gets)
    java_script+=line
   end

   js_file.close

   @driver.execute_script(java_script+"$('#{source}').simulateDragDrop({ dropTarget: '#{target}'});")

   rescue Exception => e
     puts "ERROR :" + e.to_s

end
