I figure this out. If you are in the Simulink Library Browser, and you click on say the "Math Operations" group, it will open in the browser. If you try to drag from the browser to your model, it will not work. Instead, right-click on the library name "Math Operations", and then select "Open Math Operations Library". This will open a new window, and you will be able to drag objects from this window onto your model.
I do not know if the other versions support drag-drop direct from the library browser, but this workaround at least gets the job done and is a minor inconvenience.
