I wish this would be addressed at the OS level. If a target popped into existence less than ~0.25 seconds before it was touched, a touch event shouldn't be generated. Humans reaction times aren't fast enough to hit a button that quickly anyway.

One problem with this: People often learn to touch multiple targets quickly in sequence, because one touch event predictably pops up the target for the next event.
Great idea. Should also take into account misclicks directly after layouts shifts in some websites.
