I suppose instead of doing jQuery.swap() on the element itself, we could jQuery.swap all the "display:none;" parents of the element as well... that's a brute force approach, but it may work?

I think we decided this was too gruesome to handle long ago. Mike Sherov's method will often work but would potentially be very slow in the general case. I don't think we'd want to be an enabler of bad practice.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.

It would be great if we could get this working, but it's not easy.
Related to #9300. This is different in that this element does not have a width set in its styles to retrieve as a fallback.
