I run into areas of pages on mobile Safari that prevent pinch zooming from working. Most likely these areas are intercepting touch events and then do something different or what not - but I have seen this. Most of the time it's only on a area of the page and I can scroll up or down and pinch zoom and then back to the area I want to. This is probably not unlike the scroll jacking I'm seeing a lot now where the mouse scroll is taken over by content and might zoom in instead of scroll or simply scroll a region and then and only when I'm at the bottom of the region does it then allow me to scroll past the region to the rest of the page.
