We don't want an overlay on an overlay, so a tooltip is a non-starter. However, it might be possible to work the name of the lens in as text below the icon, visible only on hover. That would not interfere with the focus indicator (the little triangle above the icon).
If you'd like to amend the bug title and description accordingly, and perhaps post a flash/html5/animated gif mockup, we can consider this in more detail.
