iOS - Floating cursor with input elements inside flexbox

Question

Has anyone addressed the floating cursor issue with input elements that are inside flexbox layouts in HTML apps on iOS7?

Go to http://cdn.sencha.com/touch/sencha-touch-2.3.1a/built-examples/kitchensink/index.html#demo/formpanel, focus on an input element, and scroll.

I've seen this same behavior on several different HTML mobile frameworks. It seems flexbox is the culprit. Any workarounds?
