I made my table into a subclass of UITableView (called PickerSensitiveUITableView).

The I implemented this method:

- (UIView*)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    UIView* result = [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];

    if ([result.superview isKindOfClass:[UIPickerView class]])
    {
          self.scrollEnabled = NO;
    }
    else 
    {
          self.scrollEnabled = YES;    
    }
    return result;
}

So now when the touch happens inside the bounds of the picker (actually ANY picker in the table!) it turns off the scrollability of the UITableView.

It occurs to me a more general solution would be to do this as a category on UIScrollView. The problem isn't with tables so much as with the UIScrollView that UITableView is a subclass of...
