I'm having the same issue - it seems broader than autocomplete though - I'm loosing all jquery bindings on the second open, so I'm pretty sure it's a simplemodal issue. To get around the autocomplete issue I loaded it on the simplemodal open (and unloaded on close). Still looking for a better solution!

$dialog.modal({
  onShow: function(event, ui) {
    $('#an-autocomplete-input').autocomplete();
  },
  onClose: function(event, ui) {
    $('#an-autocomplete-input').autocomplete( "close" );
    $.modal.close();
  }
});
