I use a transparent button that covers the area I want to be able to
accept the drop. I use a dragEnter in the stack to show the button and
then hide it after dropping or exiting. You can give the button a border
as a visual indicator.

At the end of the day I'm wondering if this should be reported as a
bug. It seems like something is getting hooked in memory. It's
weird that I can drag a file onto my Livecode stack (which is one
large image control with the drag handlers in it) and get nothing.
Then, simply continuing to drag off the stack window and right back
on it fixes it.
I wonder if it is because you are dropping onto an image. Images don't
register mouse events unless you click (or presumably release) on an
opaque pixel. It may be that sometimes you're dropping onto a
transparent area and then nothing will happen.
You could test the theory by putting a big button over the card and
seeing if the drop is reliable there, or by always consciously
dropping exactly on an opaque area.
