This is actually a bug, not a feature. Some major changes to how karma is stored and passed around the application were made in order to implement the percentage tooltips. Scores are now passed around as an array containing the number of up votes and down votes, where previously it was the difference of the two. It appears the this array is being incorrectly rendered in the side bar, instead of the calculated score.

Given that people are already coming up with crude hacks for extracting some of that information, it would be nice if the percentage tooltip displayed the raw array as well.

I think this is bug is actually an unintended feature.
