A somewhat related inconvenience I have with tooltips is that if you put a tooltip on a button, then hover the mouse so that the tooltip shows up, you can't click to activate the button unless you move the mouse pixel to left or top because the resultant click will go to the tooltip and not to

Are you using OS X? For me, mnemonics in JavaFX work on Windows, but not at all in OS X (which is perhaps by undocumented design?). Apple's platform integration guide contains a section on Mnemonics, it based on Swing but I think the concepts translate to JavaFX:
