Elements rendered on top of MapView don't receive touches

Hello! I noticed that if you place an element on top of MapView, you can’t register touch events because they get swallowed by the MapView. Is there a way to fix this?

<App Background="Black">
  <NativeViewHost Width="100%" Height="100%">
    <Panel>
      <Image File="close.png" Width="70" Height="70">
        <Clicked>
          <DebugAction Message="Click!" />
        </Clicked>
      </Image>
      <MapView Latitude="59.911567" Longitude="10.741030" Zoom="10" />
    </Panel>
  </NativeViewHost>
</App>

This is a known issue, and here’s a workaround.
