Thanks, Chas, for the workaround.

Unfortunately, for reasons I don't fully understand, it seems to be a
feature, rather than a bug:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303717

The developer's comment was "Supporting tooltips on combobox items
depends on support for tooltips in tree view (think list-mode)."

Does anyone have any further insight on this? I use tooltips quite a
bit and having to wrap each one in an EventBox is going to be rather
tiresome.
