jQuery BlockUI combined with jQuery Tools Tooltip issue

Question

I'm trying to use both the BlockUI and jQuery Tools Tooltip plugins on the same page and calls to BlockUI are fubaring the tooltips. Once I call .block() on an element the tooltips are offset by X number of pixels to the left and top and the width/height of the tooltips are all messed up. Any one else using these two libraries together and run into the same issue?

$("#MyAccount").block({ message: "<h1>Saving...</h1>" });

These are the two plugins I'm speaking of:

BlockUI just doesn't play nice with other frameworks or plugins. I decided to use the jquery tools overlay to replace it and it works just as well.
