Here's a page that demonstrates the issue:
http://Dashboard.Sentegy.com/Test.html
if you are on a mouse device clicking on the button generates the alert. On a touch device (iOS) it doesn't pop up. This causes all kinds of problems because Kendo UI Web is also broken. For example selection of an item in a tree view doesn't work on touch devices. I assume its all the same underlying root cause.

Thanks for contacting us. The issue you describe is resolved, and will be addressed in our next internal build, about to be released this week.

Using mouse (mousedown) events on a touch enabled device is not recommended. The issue in this thread is related to a problem with the DOM Click event (which usage is also discouraged, but sometimes unavoidable.
If you still experience troubles after upgrading to the latest internal build, do not hesitate to contact us with a sample project that demonstrates the issue.
Anker,
If you use a Kendo UI mobile button widget, I would like to recommend using its widget click event, as it is significantly faster and performs better on a mobile device.

That works for buttons, but not for the more complicated controls like tree view.

Our treeview widget is tested on touch devices, too. Some issues were present in the initial Q3 released, but they are also addressed in the subsequent internal builds we have released.
