@endlessly stuck, a buddy of mine doing frontend have just show me the trick that made it working (I was stuck too with greyed out screen but no modal):

The modal window should be declared like this:

<div id="modal-window" class="modal hide fade" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content"></div>
  </div>
</div>

Then, rendering should be made this way:

$("#modal-window").find(".modal-content").html("<%= j (render 'application/modal') %>");
$("#modal-window").modal();
