Yes, this is a good proposal.

Unfortunately, it is not yet perfect.

For historical reasons, the tool that controls the multiunit pin edit mode 
enables this mode when it
is disabled (not activated), and disable the multiunit pin edit mode when it is 
activated.
(because a long time ago, multiunit parts with interchangeable units were 99% 
of symbols, and
disabling this multiunit pin edit mode (activating the tool) was useful for 
only 1% of symbols )

For instance, the sentence is not clear:
"Normally enabled for multiunit parts with interchangeable units."
If "Normally enabled" is related to the pin edit mode, this is true, but the 
tool is not in
activated state
If "Normally enabled" is related to the tool, the sentence is wrong.

Therefore it is really not easy to give a short and understandable explanation 
in a tooltip.
(unless changing the tool action)
