I think this is the reason:

| (defun command-line ()
| [...]
|   (unless (or noninteractive
|             emacs-quick-startup

|     (tooltip-mode 1))

No, apparently the customization are processed later:

$ rm .emacs
$ emacs -no-site-file
[ Customizing Tooltip Mode off ...]
$ cat .emacs
(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(tooltip-mode nil nil (tooltip)))
[...]
$ emacs -no-site-file

,----
| Tooltip Mode: Hide Value Toggle  off (nil)
|    State: You have set this option and saved it through Customize in
|    your init file.

Bye, Reiner.
