'mistouch' issue in controls

I’m still busy porting my game ‘Hyper Blazer’ to android and I’m experiencing a problem with the controls.
I’d like to have the game being compatible with Android 1.6 (so no multi-touch), so I came up with the following control scheme: Tilt forward/backward for accellerating/braking, touch for left/right, click (d-pad center) for jump.

This works quite well, except for one major game-breaking issue: When I click and touch to steer in quick succession (within about 1 second), the touch event is not registered and I’m seeing a message in the log saying something like “OJ: May be a mistouch”.

Anyone seen this before? Any ideas?

To be more precise, the exact message I’m seeing in the log:
