Even I was getting this issue.But this element was newly created element as a result
of previous step and hence refreshing the browser (driver.get(url)) and then performing
element.click resolved the issue.

My element is always there - not new. But just in case I tried driver.get(driver.getCurrentUrl())
right before the problem click(), and still same problem.
Thanx for the offer though.

I have also seen this bug.  It happens only when driving Chrome.  Firefox 7.0.1 has
no problem clicking the same checkbox.  This element is always on the page so the suggestion
of driver.get(url) did not solve my problem.

The section of script which is failing is very simple:

driver.find_element(:id, "bAddReceipt").click



Here is the html and css for the relevant element:

.checkbox input, .radio input {
    position: absolute;
}
.checkbox label, .radio label {
    padding: 0 0 0 22px;
    position: relative;
    top: 3px;
}
<div class="checkbox">
<input id="bAddReceipt" class="CheckboxInput" type="checkbox" value="1" name="bAddReceipt">
<label for="bAddReceipt">Use Detailed Add Receipt</label>
</div>

I have a similar issue with SmartGWT pages.
SmartGWT buttons apparently are not really <input> tags, which is why I believe the
chromedriver fails on "element is not clickable. Another element '<td>....' would get
the  click.
This simple click does work perfectly in FF8 and IE8

I also have this issue. GWT has rendered an input field like this:

<div class="...">
    <input type="text" id="username" name="username" autocomplete="on" tabindex="1"
placeholder="Email address">
    <div class="gwt-Label ..."/>
</div>

However, the div.gwt-Label element is rendered completely covering the input field.
This makes it impossible to click on the input field, e.g. to clear any placeholder
text before sending keys.

Firefox 14 and IE9 have no such problem.

Even I am facing the same issue. I could reproduce with chrome driver 26. 

Steps To Reproduce:
1) Open a page which has a tab.
2) Click on the tab. This time it is successful.

When you click on the same tab, it fails with the error. But with FF and IE, it works
fine.

Element is not clickable at point (253.5, 116.5). Other element would receive the click:
<div class="ext-el-mask" style="display: block;"></div> (WARNING: The server did not
