Jim,
The easiest thing to to might be removing the UV filter when you use the
circular polarizer.  It is what I do with all the lenses.  Fewer air/glass
interfaces for flare, less possibility for vignetting (which is what you
asked about), and the polarizer should take care of any UV making the UV
filter redundant.
