 I'm registering a custom metaboxes before and after TinyMCE like this:

 {{{
 add_action( 'edit_form_after_title',  'jjj_editor_above' );
 add_action( 'edit_form_after_editor', 'jjj_editor_below' );
 }}}

 These look like:
 {{{
 do_meta_boxes( $GLOBALS['post_type'], 'above_editor', $GLOBALS['post'] );
 do_meta_boxes( $GLOBALS['post_type'], 'below_editor', $GLOBALS['post'] );
 }}}

 When you drag a non-hierarchical taxonomy meta-box into one of these
 custom areas and reload the page, jQuery Suggest stops working. This is
 because:

 `post.js` targets `'#side-sortables, #normal-sortables, #advanced-
 sortables'`

 ...when it could target...

 `.meta-box-sortables`

 ----

 I can fix this myself by copying that bit from `post.js` (see below) but,
 I think WordPress core can safely prevent plugins from needing to handle
 this on their own:
 {{{
 /* Custom Meta Box Locations */
 $( '#above_editor-sortables, #below_editor-sortables' ).children(
 'div.postbox' ).each( function() {
         if ( this.id.indexOf( 'tagsdiv-' ) === 0 ) {
                 window.tagBox && window.tagBox.init();
                 return false;
         }
 } );
 }}}
