I think different people refer to them differently, so I think some do
call them tooltips. Concretely what I mean here is when the mouse
hovers over an html <img> tag with the title field set, there should
be a box that pops up next to the mouse with the value of that field
set. So hovering the mouse over <img src='img.png' title="value">
would display "value".

This issue is only on emacs --with-pgt. The mousover text works
correctly in emacs --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 under xwayland.
