Xebium is incompatible with ios-driver against a native app

When trying to use Xebium with the ios-driver http://ios-driver.github.io/ios-driver/?page=home I noticed that it does not work. Using a proxy tool (Charles Proxy) I noticed that Xebium is making requests that ask the WebDriver to evaluate JavaScript code, as if it were a brrowser app. When running the same test from Python against the WebDriver, no such thing happens.

Here in Python:

from selenium import webdriver
cap = {
'device' : 'iphone',
'language': 'en',
'locale': 'en_US',
'CFBundleName': 'InternationalMountains',
'simulator':True,
'variation':'iPhone5s'
}
driver = webdriver.Remote("http://localhost:5555/wd/hub", cap)
cellByName = driver.find_element_by_name ("Mountain 1")
print (cellByName)
cellByName.click()

Here's the wire (all works fine):

And here it is from FitNesse:

I tried to disable the fast xebium emulation, it did not fix the problem:

| use fast selenium emulation | false |

Is there a way to make Xebium work properly like when using the WebDriver? Why is it insisting in trying to execute JavaScript against the DOM? There's no DOM in a native IOS app.
