        <pre>When an item is remove from the DOM that was the target of an touchstart, no more touchmove events are fired until the element is re-added.

See fiddle for example: <a href="https://jsfiddle.net/6mrpy733/9/">https://jsfiddle.net/6mrpy733/9/</a>
Open the console to see when the touchmove handler is hit. Drag the red circle and note that no touchmove events are received as soon as the element is removed. I would expect the events to continue to bubble to the parent. Also, this is how it works with mouse events.
