 While doing testing of jQuery 1.5.2 for ticket #16426 (I was comnparing
 how things worked with the included versions of jQuery and jQuery UI in
 3.0.5, 3.1.1, and 3.2-bleeding r17614 to how things worked with jQuery
 1.5.2 in 3.2-bleeding r17614), I encountered an issue with not being able
 to drag metaboxes in IE 8 or IE 9 on Windows 7 64-bit.  I was able to
 reproduce this on two different computers with WP 3.0.5, WP 3.1.1, and
 latest trunk version (r17614).  Here's what I encountered in each version
 for each of the browsers above.

 WP 3.0.5 + jQuery 1.4.2 + jQuery UI 1.7.3 - dashboard metaboxes are
 movable in IE 8

 WP 3.0.5 + jQuery 1.4.2 + jQuery UI 1.7.3 - metaboxes on edit/new posts,
 links, and pages screens outline showing where to drop is slow if it shows
 at all in IE 8

 WP 3.0.5 + jQuery 1.4.2 + jQuery UI 1.7.3 - no metaboxes are draggable in
 IE 9

 WP 3.1.1 + jQuery 1.4.4 + jQuery UI 1.8.9 and WP 3.2-bleeding + jQuery
 1.4.4 + jQuery UI 1.8.9 and WP 3.2-bleeding + jQuery 1.5.2 + jQuery UI
 1.8.9 (and jQuery 1.8.11) - dashboard and edit/new links metaboxes are
 movebable in IE 8

 WP 3.1.1 + jQuery 1.4.4 + jQuery UI 1.8.9 and WP 3.2-bleeding + jQuery
 1.4.4 + jQuery UI 1.8.9 and WP 3.2-bleeding + jQuery 1.5.2 + jQuery UI
 1.8.9 (and jQuery 1.8.11) - metaboxes on edit/new posts and pages are slow
 to drag and outline showing where to drop is slow if it shows at all in IE
 8

 WP 3.1.1 + jQuery 1.4.4 + jQuery UI 1.8.9 and WP 3.2-bleeding + jQuery
 1.4.4 + jQuery UI 1.8.9 and WP 3.2-bleeding + jQuery 1.5.2 + jQuery UI
 1.8.9 (and jQuery 1.8.11) - dashboard metaboxes are not movebable in IE 9

 WP 3.1.1 + jQuery 1.4.4 + jQuery UI 1.8.9 and WP 3.2-bleeding + jQuery
 1.4.4 + jQuery UI 1.8.9 and WP 3.2-bleeding + jQuery 1.5.2 + jQuery UI
 1.8.9 (and jQuery 1.8.11) - reorder of metaboxes on edit/new posts, links,
 and pages screen in right column and dragging metaboxes from right column
 to left column works while dragging metaboxes from left column to right
 column doesn't work and results in a ghost metabox appearing

 As a side note, I did try adding in the code that I discovered was causing
 the problem for #16955 to ui.sortable.js and it made no difference in what
 I am encountering in IE 8 and IE 9.
