This is a well-known problem. It is caused by the implementation of Emacs menus on MS-Windows: we start a separate message loop for handling the menu events, and this suspends the main event loop. When blink-cursor-mode is ON, the timer causes the main event loop to turn a notch, and then Emacs produces the help-echo for the menu item; but without cursor blinking and no other sources of async input events, that doesn't happen. Patches to fix that are welcome.
