You could try:
document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(element, '')
        .getPropertyValue('display')

I agree that we might want to get some more info from the Adblock devs 
to find a better workaround.  As a plus though, checking for 
display:none would make us play nice with userContent.css ad blocking 
schemes.
