Here's a hack I used to at least got something useful while dragging an absolute positioned container:

Ext.dd.DragSource.override({
    onInitDrag: function (x, y) {
        var clone;
        // Check if the dragged element is static
        if (!this.el.isStyle('position', 'static')) {
            // Use the inner HTML for the dragproxy
            var myEl = new Ext.Element(document.createElement('div'));
            myEl.setHTML(this.el.dom.innerHTML);
            clone = myEl.dom.cloneNode(true);


        } else {


            clone = this.el.dom.cloneNode(true);
            clone.id = Ext.id();


        }


        this.proxy.update(clone);
        this.onStartDrag(x, y);


        return true;
    }
});
