Hmmm... The same could happen with accept too:

* Client A owns touch
* Client B has a touch grab and is listening too

1. Client A accepts touch
2. TouchEnd sent to client B
3. Client B accepts touch (which means, I accept iff I become the owner)
4. TouchEnd reaches client B
5. Client B gets an error from the touch acceptance because at the time
the server got the accept request, the touch has already ended for client B

We probably need to think a bit more about this...
