Can you show a reproducible example of the issue that nailed you? Lift does not modify the XHTML on the page unless you explicitly tell it to... so Lift will not remove the class attribute on a <ul> tag.
I suspect what's happening is that Lift's default of serving application/xhtml+xml is causing a conflict with your jQuery plugin which is not rendering correct XHTML.
