I am finding that it does not work in Chrome but does work in Safari, Firefox and IE9 (all on Windows). Possibly I missed a setting for Chrome somewhere. It also works on Chrome for iPad.
Couldn't find anything in the bug tracker.
Moodle 20120910 and latest zip files downloaded from OU site yesterday. Debian Squeeze and MySQL
Sometimes clearing your cache in your browser settings can fix things if somehow you have some old code in your cache or something?
The Drag and drop in the question type and elsewhere in Moodle should be fairly reliable seeing as it uses YUI code.
If yes, is there a date in mind?

The 2.3 version should work fine in Moodle 2.4. There have been no changes that affect the question type plug-ins as far as I am aware.

You specify the correct choice in the syntax used to define a drop for example 1 in the question text would create a drop zone which should have choice 1 dragged to it.
A possible extension to this question type might be to extend that syntax to something like 2 to allow that choice 1 or 2 are correct answers.
