If it is something that affects core WordPress, then you are welcome to
submit a Trac ticket to http://core.trac.wordpress.org. We'll then help
track the ticket upstream, and actually work with the jQuery and jQuery UI
developers on a fix. This doesn't appear to affect any core functionality
though, so it would be best to keep all activity upstream.

A heads up, the jQuery UI developers are going to want a fiddle as a test
case: http://jsfiddle.net/. Your test case seems quite solid, but they
ideally want something that is simple and reproducible, and in a clean and
consistent environment.
