This needs to be implemented as a new feature. The easiest way would be 
to have a global configuration option that disables all unit conversion 
tooltips. Not very complicated, but I am in the middle of changing the 
SMW datatype system (internally) for better RDF support. I could add a 
suitable option later (but in time for SMW 1.6). Could you file a 
feature request at Bugzilla so I do not forget this?
