This is due to the modal being detached from the dom by default, loosing previous attached events.
Workarounds:

1. Use detachable: false

2. Instantiate the popup after the modal is instantiated
   https://jsfiddle.net/u3mx7gzj/2/

Both jsfiddles are based on your example. However the popup won't be shown in any case when a dropdown is actively opened, which is the case in your example because the modal only contains the dropdown field, which gets focussed, thus opened by default.
To avoid this, use autofocus:false to see the popup immediatly

Interesting! I can definitely instantiate the popup when the modal is shown. For my use case I'm already using autofocus:false but just didn't use it in the JSFiddle.

What are the ramifications of setting the modal to detachable:false ?

What are the ramifications of setting the modal to detachable:false ?

Existing events (like the popups hover event) will be kept. They get lost when the modal is detached from the DOM

That might make more sense for my use case. I will play around with it. Thanks for clearing up my confusion!
