Take a look at the test case I posted on http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/4438, it outlines the crux of the problem.
If it was only a local problem I would certainly fix it locally, but this assumption of the origin point of the body being the same as the origin of the viewport leads to several problems with anything that is positioned relatively to the body (using position: absolute in the childrens on a body that itself has postion: relative), and it happens in lots of places on jquery ui, for instance. I will try to craft a test case for something that happens on jquery itself, instead of only jquery ui.
