You could:

1) Define SPANs around your content and use an "onLoad" event handler
to modify the innerHTML of each one to remove the auto-embedded SPANs
inserted by Google.

2) Use the AJAX APIs to translate your documents instead of using the
page translator.

BTW, they are not "popups". A popup is a new window. What Google uses
are called a mouseover, rollover, or a hover menu.

agreed, this is a serious problem with the translator... that
mouseover bubble will often interfere with reading and clicking drop
down menus...

Maybe you could try greasemonkey, which modifies page javascript
before it runs on your machine. It should be simple to write a script
to stop mouseovers; almost certainly someone has done it already.
