From my point of view this is not a bug. A function in a toolbar or menu item contains a CommandURL which describe what command will be processed on activation. As the CommandURL is a unique identier for the function it can also be used for the help. The "HelpID" property was used for backward compatibility. Currently OOo normally uses the CommandURL to retrieve the tooltip/help content.
Ah, that explains it all. I did not look for specs on the HelpID, just considered it to work, since it shows a value.
It's possible for an implementation to change the tooltip text (e.g. look at the undo function which shows the latest undo step as tooltip). This can only be done by the responsible DispatchProvider implementation using a full-featured UNO language (Java, C/C++, Python). I don't know a way to do it with Basic. The dispatch object must send a com.sun.star.frame.FeatureStateEvent and put a string object into the "State" member.
