I tried to use a bad value on X, and the resulted effect is the mouse pointer covering part of the tooltip window. Also moving the mouse causes flickering of the tooltip window. I have no idea how to describe this behavior in the doc string. Could you change that to say "or it may interfere with clicking where you wish". BTW, on non-toolkit X builds using tooltips on menu items completely garbles them. I don't understand. Could you please say more specifically how they get garbled? Most likely this is caused by garbage collection, and displaying tooltips makes GC to occur sooner than when tooltips are disabled. I don't follow the connection. What does GC have to do with garbling tooltips? Are you using a mode in which the tooltip appears in the echo area?
