I was looking for the DOM element too in order to implement a custom tooltip. After a while digging into google overlays, custom libraries and so on, i've ended up with the following solution based on fredrik's title approach (using jQuery) :

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'mouseover', function() {

    if (!this.hovercardInitialized) {

        var markerInDOM = $('div[title="' + this.title + '"]').get(0);

        // do whatever you want with the DOM element

        this.hovercardInitialized = true;
    }

});

Hope this helps someone.
