Having spent time last week fixing up a lot of the touch support for the 1.1.2, I'm well aware of the difficulties around wiring nodes.
Any fix is a bit more involved though as it'd require some touch-specific changes to how wiring works - the ports are simply too small to be accessible touch targets.
Keep the feedback on touch screen usage coming - as I mentioned in the 1.1.2 release post this is something I'm interested in gather more of. How quickly we're able to address it I can't say - but gathering the feedback is the first step.
