ui-sref not working with ng-click (angular-touch) if used without jQuery

Question

I have a hard time removing jQuery from our app. The main problem: a simple link combining ng-click with ui-sref:

<a data-ui-sref="main2" data-ng-click="reportClick()">Link</a>

The result: ng-click fires, ui-sref does not. This only happens when using angular-touch, without jQuery as a dependency and a mobile browser, or with the emulation of a mobile device in the new chrome 32 (I used an Nexus 4 as emulation target).

A running example: http://jsfiddle.net/scheffield/AEfMm/

To see the effect: http://jsfiddle.net/scheffield/AEfMm/show in a mobile browser

I already did a little research and found out that the event object is broken:

element.bind("click", function(e) {
    var button = e.which || e.button;

    if ((button === 0 || button == 1) && !e.ctrlKey && !e.metaKey && !e.shiftKey) {
      // HACK: This is to allow ng-clicks to be processed before the transition is initiated:
      $timeout(function() {
        scope.$apply(function() {
          $state.go(ref.state, params, { relative: base });
        });
      });
      e.preventDefault();
    }
  });

It is an object containing nothing but two functions implemented as angular.noop.

Any ideas?
