This might be a bug on iCloud. http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/105396 changed WebKit so that it fires drop event on edit drag.

My guess is that iCloud isn't checking types attribute on the dataTransfer interface:

Unfortunately, I can't seem to create an iCloud account so I can't verify this myself.
Comment 3 Ryosuke Niwa 2012-07-31 21:18:27 PDT 
I've confirmed my diagnose. iCloud.com is considering all drop events to be files drops, which isn't necessarily the case.
Comment 4 Ryosuke Niwa 2012-07-31 21:19:29 PDT 
The question is whether we should consider this is a compatibility issue, revert the change, and ask whatwg/W3C to change the spec, or we should contact iCloud.com to change "fix" their website.

iCloud is going to fix this on their end.  Resolving.
