We are already having problems, since this event propagation is broken. 
Currently, we are having to create our own SingleTouchArea to avoid 
touchs being propagated to underneath MultiPointTouchAreas, because even 
though the MouseArea 'handles' touch events, through synthesized mouse 
events, it will not prevent the original touch event passing through it.
The z-order matters here and on touch devices this behavior is not 
acceptable. If we don't fix this know, it will bring much more problems 
in the future.

If someone change this flag, he knows exactly what he is doing and 
should know the outcome.
