I wonder if it is because you are dropping onto an image. Images don't 
register mouse events unless you click (or presumably release) on an 
opaque pixel. It may be that sometimes you're dropping onto a 
transparent area and then nothing will happen.

You could test the theory by putting a big button over the card and 
seeing if the drop is reliable there, or by always consciously dropping 
exactly on an opaque area.
