I haven't rebooted yet, but I've noticed the new tooltips are showing up in newly-launched apps for me. Oddly, I can see the transparency in Rhythmbox - I can partially see through the tooltip to rest of the Rhythmbox interface 'below' - but not Firefox. The tooltips in Firefox appear completely opaque. Just thought it was an oddity worth mentioning.
Indeed, I can confirm the firefox seem to use engine rendered tooltips. WebKit based browsers (I've tested midori and chromium) use the refreshed ones.
Maybe firefox bypases gtk and calls the engine functions itself for tooltips -- after all, it just emulates gtk...
