The comments in tooltip.el suggest that this is a kludge to avoid display problems (Gerd Moellmann?), so I'm not sure that there is an easy fix. There are other problems that I would like to fix such as the fact that if GUD tooltips display in the echo area then so must ordinary tooltips, but these are not showstoppers. Surely solving these problems should wait till after the release? This is a bug fix; in principle, there is no reason to delay it. If it would require fundamental changes, then we don't want to install them now. If it can be done in a localized way, then it need not wait.
