jQuery UI Tooltips not working with all versions of IE 11

jQuery UI Tooltips not working with all versions of IE 11

Greetings,

We have just completed converting or tooltips over to jQuery UI 1.11.4 (jQuery 1.11.3) and I have discovered that some version of IE 11 work and some don't. 

Is anyone aware of this and if so, can you identify the version where this works reliably (so I can set a minimum version baseline)? 

I have verified that the browsers are NOT in compatibility mode.

This version works: 11.0.9600.17959 (UPD: 11.0.22)

This version fails: 11.0.9600.17501 (UPD: 11.0.15)

The symptom is that the keyword is rendered, but the tooltip never pops up and it's text is never rendered.

Thank you,
Dan

HTML (example):
  1. <div class="popper" id="ttip_1" title="[This is <br />tooltip<br /> text!]">Hover here</div>

CSS (please pardon the use of "important!"):
  1. /* Style for the <div>text</div> that triggers the pop-up tooltip */
  2. .popper { 
  3.     color: blue; 
  4.     display: inline; 
  5. }
  6. .ui-tooltip {
  7.     max-width: 450px !important; 
  8. .ui-tooltip-content {
  9.     /* background-color: #b7dde8 !important; */
  10.     font-size: 18px !important;
  11. }
  12. .ui-tooltip-content::after, .ui-tooltip-content::before {
  13.     position: absolute;  
  14.     border-style: solid;
  15.     display: block;
  16. }
  17. .ui-tooltip-content::before {
  18.     bottom: -10px;
  19.     border-color: blue;
  20.     border-width: 10px 10px 0;
  21. }
  22. .ui-tooltip-content::after {
  23.     bottom: -7px;
  24.     border-color: gray;
  25.     border-width: 10px 10px 0;
  26. }

This is my script code:
  1. /* Allow HTML rendering */
  2. $.widget("ui.tooltip", $.ui.tooltip, {
  3.     options: {
  4.         content: function () {
  5.             return $(this).prop('title');
  6.         },
  7.     }
  8. });

  9. $(function() {
  10.     $( "div[id^='ttip_']" ).tooltip({
  11.        show: "slideDown",
  12.        position: {
  13.           my: "center bottom",
  14.           at: "right top-100%",
  15.           collision: "flipfit"
  16.        },
  17.     });
  18. });
