Sorry, ignore the above.

When you disable tooltip-mode, the delays are also disabled.  That's
by design, since the delayed display is part of this mode.

What I fixed was that on text-mode terminals the delay was also
disabled, even though tooltip-mode was enabled.

So if you expect the delay to be in effect when the mode is disabled,
then your expectations are incorrect.
