Try it, in Bitcoin-Qt, click on a menu item and hover something in the dropdown menu ... no tooltip is shown. I did a bit of Google research and it seems this is known. As it's even bad in terms of GUI design / UX, I vote for simply removing all tooltips for main menu items from the source files.
GUI: tooltips in main menu / for menu items are not shown -> better remove them #1079

Right, appears that they recommend setStatusTip iso setToolTip for menu items.
Note that some qactions are also used in other places than the menu, in that case the tooltips do make sense.

As we use statustips now, this can be closed.
