That work around is not a valid replacement for a live handler. It's very different, and somewhat obtrusive.
Is this still an issue with 1.4.4pre?

seems to still be a problem with the current git version. I upgraded the test case to use http://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js, and it still works on desktop browsers, but fails to register 'live click' on mobilesafari: http://bl.ocks.org/259656

Technically, click events don't exist on touch devices. You may have more luck by adding in support for touch events. However, it's half support for firing both a touch and a click event seems like this could eventually work. I'd say that filing this to the jquery mobile team would be the quickest way to get this fixed since jQuery doesn't officially support safari mobile, but jquery mobile does.

Quick fix:
Just add "cursor: pointer" to the element's CSS and the live click event will work as expected.

I can vouch for this. What an odd workaround for a frustrating problem.

So does this mean that this has been fixed in the next release of jQuery or was it just closed as in "will never be fixed" connotation?

@andrewmoorewatson, it means that this is not something jQuery can fix transparently. The click event does not occur at the document level if the element is not natively clickable, so we cannot process it. You'll need to use one of the solutions outlined here or elsewhere and accept their drawbacks.

Yup worked for me too :)
The workaround is to add onclick="" to the element you are attaching the event to per http://www.greaterscope.com/blog/2010/09/15/jquerys-live-click-handler-on-mobile-safari/
