But only in lisp-mode, right?

This happens because lisp-mode.el wants itself to manage the help-echo
property:

  (defun lisp-mode-variables (&optional lisp-syntax keywords-case-insensitive
					elisp)
  ...
    (setq font-lock-defaults
	  `(,(if elisp '(lisp-el-font-lock-keywords
			 lisp-el-font-lock-keywords-1
			 lisp-el-font-lock-keywords-2)
	       '(lisp-cl-font-lock-keywords
		 lisp-cl-font-lock-keywords-1
		 lisp-cl-font-lock-keywords-2))
	    nil ,keywords-case-insensitive nil nil
	    (font-lock-mark-block-function . mark-defun)
	    (font-lock-extra-managed-props help-echo)
	     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When a property appears in font-lock-extra-managed-props, font-lock
removes that property when it's about to re-fontify some region, see
font-lock-default-unfontify-region.

CC'ing Stefan, who made that change.
