Here's a test case - http://jsfiddle.net/y5UkS/. I also got the error in Chrome and Safari, I didn't test beyond that.

The docs recommend calling cancel in the stop event rather than the beforeStop event (http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/ - see what's listed for the cancel method). Switch to use stop rather than beforeStop and there are no issues - http://jsfiddle.net/y5UkS/1/.
