The shim idea is the most professional looking option short of simply moving the select away from where the tip will be, which as mundane as it sounds, is actually the best solution. This is especially true in this case as the tippointer needs its own shim and owing to the vagaries of the IE bug, over a select, a part of the pointer shim must be visible, as well as any part of the tip shim that backs up a dropshadow (if used) that is not actually covered by the drop shadow. With those limitations in mind, this I believe, is as good as the shim idea gets with this script:
