I think you hit the nail on the head with this post. Over the past few weeks I have been doing similar research. I have come to the conclusion that there isn't a really great option.
Out of all the frameworks, I am most impressed with Sencha Touch's performance. It was the only one that felt "native" to me.
What I didn't like about Sencha is it doesn't let me use backbone.js, it also looks really difficult to customize the UI if you don't use their "widgets".
It's hard to imagine we won't get there eventually though. For the time being, there really aren't great options, but that will certainly change in the coming years. Mobile remains in its infancy.

jQuery Mobile has been out of Alpha for a very long time. 1.0 was announced in November of last year and they are currently in a stable 1.1.0 release. Alpha 2 was announced in November of 2010.

Wish there was a better option :(
