Don't know why this is occurring, but I'm having the same problem.
I've figured out a slight workaround, however. Make sure the
sortable's container is linked in the first list element in the
workflow of your document. Then use code like this to move that first
li element to the position where you want it to be, and set the first
tab as selected:

        $("#tabbers ul li:first").insertAfter("#tabbers ul li:eq(1)");
        $("#tabbers").tabs('select',1);

In this code, tabbers is the ID of my tab-containing element, and I
select eq(1) in order to insert the first li (the one containing the
sortable) after the second (which is the one I actually want to be the
first). Then, I select the first li for display. There is still a
short period when the sortable's container is displayed...but it does
allow the sortable to be dragged into right after selecting its tab.

Cheers, Mike
