Thanks for the responses guys!
So the answer to my original question:

...is no, there's no simple way to place the files in the assets
pipeline and have the images match up to the unmodified image links in
the CSS.
Options are:
* In the assets pipeline:
* Find and replace the image links in the CSS with the appropriate helpers.
* Write a sprockets processor to convert bare url(path) to
url(asset-path-with-hash). It should ideally restrict itself to a
given vendor directly (for jQueryUI in this case). It could be
packaged as a gem.
* Use rake assets:precompile:nondigest in production, so it works
like in dev, without the image filename hashes that break the original
CSS.
* Outside of the assets pipeline:
* Load everything from a CDN (e.g.
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css)
instead of using a local copy.
* Just put CSS and images in their own directory under public/,
and add an extra stylesheet link in the HTML (this is what I did).
Cheers,
Chris
