Maybe tooltip-mode should be silent in the echo-area once nil is set.I don't think I follow: do you mean that we should suppress _all_ help-echo text when tooltip-mode is nil? That'd be too drastic, I think, and unjustified.
The text associated with the tooltip is helpful early on but becomes an annoying visual nag once you are familiar with what that thing does. I had tooltip-mode set nil. I didn't expect the echo area to contain the tooltip. There was text in the echo area and I couldn't get the modeline context menu out of the way to read it. When I restarted in 'emacs -Q' to report the bug I discovered the echo area partially contained the tooltip text because tooltip-mode is default on. My point is if there is text I want, I want to be able to read all of it. If I've set tooltip-mode nil then I expect tooltip text masked out from every output channel.
