I don't have the problem on Firefox 2.0 on OS X.

Oh, I see -- you meant 'drag it over the map'. Yes. This is probably
because the event is stopped by the map when you mouse out. Search the
code for OpenLayers.Event.stop, return false;, etc. 

However, in general, these things are there for a reason -- I can't
guarentee it, but it is possible that changing this behavior will result
in other parts of OpenLayers not working as expected.
