I ran into this same issue. I wanted to have a bold header for the tooltip, 
follwed 
by a <br /> and then the tooltip. After tracing it back, I found that the issue 
is 
with the _text: function(text) method in the builder.js. It is using the 
document.createTextNode() method. To get the tooltip to render html tags, 
change the 
_text: function(text) method to the following...

_text: function(text) {
     var ele = document.createElement("span");
     ele.innerHTML = text;
     return ele;
     //ORIGINAL::IGNORES HTML TAGS
     //return document.createTextNode(text);
  },

I also tested this with an image tag and it works like a charm. I tested this 
and it 
works with both IE7 and Firefox 2.0.0.7

Nice fix, sucks you have to modify builder.js and not tooltips.js, inst there a 
method in builder we call instead of _text?

There is a way to do this in Tooltip.js.
Change the this row:
Builder.node("div", {className: "xboxcontent", style: "background-color:" + 
this.options.backgroundColor + 
    "; border-color:" + this.options.borderColor + 
    ((this.options.textColor != '') ? "; color:" + this.options.textColor : "") 
+ 
    ((this.options.textShadowColor != '') ? "; text-shadow:2px 2px 0" + 
this.options.textShadowColor + ";" : "")}, this.content), 

to:
this.content_div = Builder.node("div", {className: "xboxcontent", style: 
"background-
color:" + this.options.backgroundColor + 
    "; border-color:" + this.options.borderColor + 
    ((this.options.textColor != '') ? "; color:" + this.options.textColor : "") 
+ 
    ((this.options.textShadowColor != '') ? "; text-shadow:2px 2px 0" + 
this.options.textShadowColor + ";" : "")}), 

Insert:
this.content_div.innerHTML = this.content;

before:
document.body.insertBefore(this.tooltip, document.body.childNodes[0]);

I've made the fix referred to in comment 4, but it does not work in FF3. Anyone
having the same issue?
