Hm. That's not what I see, in GNU Emacs 23.1.92.1  (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of
2010-02-20 on LENNART-69DE564 Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.',
version 5.1.2600 configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --no-opt --cflags
-Ic:/g/include -fno-crossjumping'.

In my case, the tooltip does appear when the mouse pointer is within the window.

But at least you confirm that the frame parameters `left' and `top' are being
ignored and the tooltip appears at the mouse position (when it appears, in your
case).
