Poor Windows. ;-)

Does this work OK on other platforms?
IOW, is the bug itself Windows-specific?

Yes, that would be OK.

Would this (fixed) behavior be Windows-specific?

Should this behavior be mentioned in the `x-popup-menu' doc?  If not, someone
might well report a bug saying that the code doesn't respect `tooltip-mode'
(since it always puts the help in the minibuffer).
