How are you getting the popover to work?

Inside the scripts.js file:

jQuery('#adminmenu li.wp-not-current-submenu.wp-has-submenu, .folded #adminmenu li.wp-has-submenu').popover({
  title: function() {
    var title = jQuery(this).find('a.menu-top').html();
    return title;
  },
  content: function() {
    var submenu = jQuery(this).find('.wp-submenu').html();
    return submenu;
  },
  placement: 'inside right',
  trigger: 'hover'
});

Extensive documentation on the bootstrap popovers can be found on https://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#popovers
