UITableView reorder hides background

Question

I have a UITableView that implements the reorder controls. It all works great with the exception of one thing. When I drag the cell, all UIView subviews are hidden. Is there a way to prevent that from happening? I tried to add a UIImage for the background (semi-transparent) to appear when you enter edit mode, but that caused another issue where the image was resized to the left side of the handles.

You could set the backgroundView of UITableViewCell and add the subviews to the backgroundView: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UITableViewCell_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UITableViewCell/backgroundView
