Comment(by bartvde):

 The problem here is that events cannot be handled on multiple vector
 layers. In order to support multiple vector layers, the SelectFeature
 Control uses a RootContainer, but since we are now dealing with both a
 SelectFeature and a DragFeature control this is not really an option.

 The real solution would be to integrate tschaub's FeatureAgent into
 OpenLayers, however this would be a significant effort of multiple days
 work at least.

 So as a workaround I came up with a temporary patch so that this use case
 can be supported in an application. I have tested the approach in FF3,
 Safari 5 and IE8. The workaround is a bit hacky at the moment, especially
 the part in Handler/Feature for which I need to find some more time to
 look into it, maybe then I can come up with a better solution.

 For now attaching the patch.
