Because tooltip frames appear fragile.  x_create_tip_frame uses

  Fset_window_buffer (FRAME_ROOT_WINDOW (f), buffer, Qnil);

while make_frame has

    /* Use set_window_buffer, not Fset_window_buffer, and don't let
       hooks be run by it.  The reason is that the whole frame/window
       arrangement is not yet fully initialized at this point.  Windows
       don't have the right size, glyph matrices aren't initialized
       etc.  Running Lisp functions at this point surely ends in a
       SEGV.  */
    set_window_buffer (root_window, buf, 0, 0);

Wouldn't the fact that the frame has not been set up completely when
assigning a buffer to its root window suggest that Fset_window_buffer
should not be used here either?
