IMO, it is related.

If you mean to say that turning tooltips off would still display the
tooltip text in the echo area, then I agree with Jason: that's a bug
that should be fixed. It should be possible to have 1 of 3 situations
wrt tooltips:
 (1) no tooltips and no messages in echo area
 (2) tooltip text is displayed in the echo area
 (3) tooltips are displayed as small floating windows

Internals aside, from the user's point of view, if I want tooltip text
to be displayed in the echo area, I want ALL tooltips to behave like
that. Why in the world would I like these two variants of tips to
behave differently?
