Drag after animate: drag helper offset from cursor

I am experiencing issues with using jQuery UI draggable() from within Edge Animate.  On start of drag, the helper (or original) element being dragged gets offset from the drag cursor, but only after the element has been animated (left/top) into place and ready to be dragged.  It seems to be offset by the same amount (in y direction in my case) as the original left/top translation using Edge.  This offset upon start of drag does not happen if the symbol doesn't change top/left - e.g. when animating opacity. 

Any idea what may be causing this?

Edge Animate:  1.0.0.185.21541 (edge.1.0.0.min.js)

jQuery:  jquery-1.7.1.min.js

jQuery UI Draggable:  1.9.0

Browsers: all

Thanks,
