I read only the first few posts and got the impression that your tooltips aren't showing at all. Reading along down the post I see you have the same issues I have. How do you reproduce "erronous popping tooltips"? I can't seem to provoke it?
About the first 1,5 characters: On slow computers I can see the tooltip is drawn in "two steps":
1) A small (20x20px) yellow rectangle with black lining is drawn 2) The rectangle is expanded to fit the text, and the rectangle and text is drawn.
This both with comctl32 native and built-in. Looks like wtlib draws and displays an empty tooltiptext-box, and then recycles it after having put text inside it.
To me it seems the native comctl32 code has an issue of not clearing some of the tooltip box graphics, and the result is a yellow box masking whatever text sitting in the top-left corner of the final tooltip. You can see that part of the "J" in "Joh" is missing on 2008 screenshot: http://appdb.winehq.org/appimage.php?iId=22134
