FWIW I use --with-x-toolkit=lucid and I don't use blink-cursor-mode; but 
a
very quick test of the Help menu doesn't exhibit any issues, so it's 
surely
not a general problem with help-echo.  I may have been doing-it-wrong, 
or
perhaps triggering an edge-case.

I'm not 100% that I remembered the symptom accurately.  I'll have to try 
it
again later to see if I can reproduce the issue and provide better 
information
in a separate a bug report.
