Hi,
let me say that is very close to #9439

Imagine a modal dialog created inside an ASP.NET UpdatePanel:

1. modal: true,
2. autoOpen: false,
3. appendTo: myUpdatePanel

On every postback I'll re-create the dialog, then an openingCondition over a field ($('#popupState').val() == "1") makes to open (or to close) the dialog.

Let see what happens inside jQueryUI:
1. popup created but not visible: $.ui.dialog.overlayInstances == 0
2. (openingCondition == false) and the dialog stay closed: $.ui.dialog.overlayInstances == 0
3. a click opens the dialog: $.ui.dialog.overlayInstances == 1
4. a PostBack event generated inside the dialog raises a partial reload of myUpdatePanel
--reload--
1. popup created but not visible: $.ui.dialog.overlayInstances == 1 (!)
2. (openingCondition == true) the dialog will open: $.ui.dialog.overlayInstances == 2 (!)
4. a PostBack inside the dialog raises a reload
--reload--
1. popup created but not visible: $.ui.dialog.overlayInstances == 2 (!!)
2. (openingCondition == true) the dialog will open: $.ui.dialog.overlayInstances == 3 (!!)
4. a PostBack inside the dialog raises a reload

and so on...
I saw that $.ui.dialog.overlayInstances != $(".ui-widget-overlay").length ... is this a bug?
