GUD tooltips need some disentangling from the normal tooltips. They're coded differently and GUD tooltips shouldn't need tooltip-mode enabled to work: it should be possble to toggle them independently. After that is done, it should be straightforward to put the code for GUD tooltips into gud.el. I might try this one day, after the release, but would be more than happy if someone else wants to do it.
