I think it would make more sense for line 162 to read as follows:

     if (this.controls[i].type === OpenLayers.Control.TYPE_TOOL) {


Then controls like DragFeature, DragPan, DrawFeature, Measure, 
ModifyFeature, SelectFeature (w/ box true only), and ZoomBox should be 
given type: OpenLayers.Control.TYPE_TOOL - controls that compete for drag.

A simpler change would be to have the panel only deactivate other 
controls if type was not TYPE_TOGGLE or TYPE_BUTTON.  Then the obligate 
controls in the NavigationHistory control could become TYPE_BUTTON.

There's room for interpretation there.
