Aha, the problem is this condition in should_produce_line_number:

    static bool
    should_produce_line_number (struct it *it)
    {
      ...
      /* Don't display line number in tooltip frames.  */
      if (FRAMEP (tip_frame) && EQ (WINDOW_FRAME (it->w), tip_frame))
        return false;

Which sounds like it would be correct, except that the meaning of
tip_frame is different for GTK tooltips, as explained in x_hide_tip:

    static Lisp_Object
    x_hide_tip (bool delete)
    {
    ...
    #ifdef USE_GTK
          {
        /* When using system tooltip, tip_frame is the Emacs frame on
           which the tip is shown.  */
        struct frame *f = XFRAME (tip_frame);

Implemented in Fx_show_tip:

    DEFUN ("x-show-tip", Fx_show_tip, Sx_show_tip, 1, 6, 0,
    ...
      f = decode_window_system_frame (frame);
    ...
    #ifdef USE_GTK
      if (x_gtk_use_system_tooltips)
        {
              ...
               /* This is used in Fx_hide_tip.  */
              XSETFRAME (tip_frame, f);

Leading to the following patch:
