I get satisfactory results (if one does not mind to show ALWAYS a 
tooltip) with:

            qt.QObject.connect(menu, qt.SIGNAL("hovered(QAction *)"), 
self._actionHovered)

    def _actionHovered(self, action):
        tip = action.toolTip()
        qt.QToolTip.showText(qt.QCursor.pos(), tip)

Surely there are cleaner workarounds ...
