this problem is solved in NTerraria 5, the multiplayer is working much better now ( still no estimated time for when it will get released, but i would suggest you to look on the terraria forum here: http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/release-n-terraria-mod-rpg-and-action-mode-quests-races-events-and-others.88272/ if you want to know the latest updates that are happening  )

the only things i guess you could do right now is to place items in a chests instead of dropping them for your friend and he could just loot them from the chest with out having any problems  (:
