http://jqueryui.com/download/ says 1.10 is stable and 1.9 is legacy, MediaWiki seems to have 1.8! I spent a while figuring out why some parts of jquery.ui.position were not working, until I checked out the version.
Had to work around this in Translate: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/58521

Unlike jQuery core, jQuery UI has quite a few changes that require modification to existing code to remain compatible. Almost exclusively simple changes (e.g. result of improving the API). Afaik no things have been dropped or made difficult, but it requires changes. And we have a shitload of code out there, including the community, so we'll probably need to give them more than 3 weeks (like we did with jQuery core) to do migration. And.. no official legacy layer to smooth migration. So, not sure how we're going to tackle this.

Wikibase makes extensive use of jQuery UI and I'd love to be able to work with a newer version. If the migration indeed is very hard, we might try to provide both versions side-by-side instead?

Yeah, I knew that already actually. Forgot about that. I spoke with Scott Gonzalez and he also re-assured me that really there is nothing stopping us from upgrading to 1.9. The only major thing being dropped in jQuery UI 1.9 is support for the jQuery UI 1.7 API, which MediaWiki never supported to begin with (jQuery UI 1.8 is the first version that ever shipped with MediaWiki).
Change 137471 had a related patch set uploaded by Krinkle: Upgrade jQuery UI from 1.8.24 to 1.9.2 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/137471
Adding as a blocker on $.browser bug, per Michael M. (confirmed by grep).
