FlareClusterer maptips with map WrapAround

I am using WrapAround="True" on my map, and have added several graphicslayers with different data.  Most have polygons, but one of the layers has points and is using a FlareClusterer to represent those points.  As long as I haven't scrolled past the dateline, the maptips work for the flares, but as soon as I scroll past the dateline I no longer get maptips on the flares.  I do still get maptips for single points on that same layer and for all of the polygons on the other layers.  I also capture a click event on the flares and it works no matter which side of the dateline I am on. 

How can I get the maptips to show for the flares on the "wrong" side of the dateline?

Thanks.

Further details:

Whether or not the flare maptips work seems to depend on which way you pan.  When I pan to the west past the dateline, the flare cluster in Japan (west of the dateline) doesn't have maptips.  If I then pan to the east back to my original view, the same flare cluster in Japan does show maptips, but flare clusters in Hawaii east of the dateline (east of the original view) do not have maptips.  If I then pan back to the west past the original view and check the flare cluster in Japan (west of the dateline -- the one that failed the first time), I do get maptips. 

This behavior seems similar to what is described in http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/35620-v2.2-GraphicsLayer-doesn-t-always-draw-graphics-in-correct-or... -- could it be an issue with the order of the layers?  The flare clusters are in the top-most layer (added to the map last).  This makes me think that perhaps with panning the layers are getting drawn in a different order, but the reply in the referenced post says to put the conflicting graphics in different layers and I *am* using different layers.  Also, since the clusters *do* flare that should mean that the cluster is in the top layer (not under the polygon that is drawn in one of the other layers).  I would think if it was a z-order issue that I would either get both flares and maptips or have neither.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for reporting this. I created a sample based on your explaination and have confirmed that this is indeed a bug. I will get a work item created for this so we can get it in the que for a future release.
