I'd say that's a bug. Tooltip doesn't re-measure correctly. Note that it would never auto-resize once it did measure correctly since parents size their children in Flex so you'd have to size the Tooltip later.
ToolTip basically expects its styles to be set in the errorTip style declaration and should evaluate that properly within createToolTip. You can provide an alternative ToolTipClass that handles your situation.

Ie text length is 200 pixels and tooltips area 150 pixels... Is the tooltip's area calculations hardcoded to font size 9?
