0. emacs -Q
1. M-x fundamental-mode RET
2. M-: (insert (propertize "foo" 'help-echo "foo \\[forward-line]")) RET

No visible effect on the tooltip --with-x-toolkit={gtk,lucid,athena,no}.

(With GTK, I also tried with x-gtk-use-system-tooltips set to nil.)

Ah, right.  I will add that to the docstring of the `tooltip' face.
