Because ‘tooltip-show’ implicitly uses the selected frame to decide
where to show the tooltip and passes it as argument to ‘x-show-tip’.
Nowhere in the documentation of tooltips we mention that dependency.

Still I think we should first eliminate all tooltip related global
variables.  They are an unnecessary confusion - only think of
last_show_tip_args impicitly also referring to a frame selected at some
earlier time - and restriction - Emacs could easily show several native
tooltips simultaneously, at least one for each display.
