There are three variants:
1) emacs --help
2) Info
3) how it actually behaves
I believe that the Emacs manual (which is probably what you mean by
"Info") describes the intended behavior, whereas `emacs --help'
slightly oversimplifies it, which might be deliberate since the
disabling of the startup screen can be considered a minor detail and
`emacs --help' needs to be reasonably concise.
I believe that the fact that Tooltip Mode is disabled after emacs -Q,
whereas it is enabled after emacs -q -D is due to an oversight when the
original emacs -Q got split into the new emacs -Q and emacs -D. I
believe that the intended behavior is exactly opposite and that the
patch below, which implements the opposite behavior should be installed.
(I can do this if desired.) Note that emacs-quick-startup is set by
-Q, whereas emacs-basic-display is set by -D.
