Thanks for the patch.  In case you're not understanding what to do, simply 
comment out lines 21,22,23 jQuery.bubbletip-1.0.6.js and paste the conditional 
check supplied by the OP.  At least that's what worked for me.

line 21 //          if ($('table.bubbletip #' + $(tip).get(0).id).length > 0) {
line 22 //              return this;
line 23//           }
line 24                        if ($(tip).length == 0 ) return this;
