ios - Is there a workaround for bug in Mobile Safari: Pinch to Zoom results in random scrolling blockage?

Question

I have an image in a scrolling div:

<div style="
    width:600px;height:400px;
    overflow:scroll;
    position:relative;
    top:0;left:0;
    -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;">

    <img src=image.jpg width=2000 height=2000>
</div>

It works everywhere as expected, except that on iOS (8.1.3), when I zoom in using my fingers, the DIV stops scrolling correctly.

One can still scroll to a certain point, but it is impossible to view the entire image except when it's barely zoomed at all.

I have tried hundreds of combinations of fixed, absolute & relative positioning on the body, the div and the image, and also various combinations of overflow:fixed etc. None of it works.

If I remove "-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;", the problem goes away but scrolling loses momentum and becomes painful.

The scrolling behavior seems pretty random. Sometimes you can scroll up, sometimes not. The problem seems to come from a conflict between the viewport scrolling and the image scrolling.

I posted a simple example at tech.ozake.com.

Is there any way to make the image smoothly scrollable when one zooms in on it?
