I'm about to dump the GtkTooltip and just create our own tooltip window manually. This should be much more reliable, and then we can also have it shown and hidden in sync with the snap indicator.

How about drawing the text on the canvas in a similar way to how the path outline is drawn?

Yes - this is definitely what is needed here. Max has added a SPCanvasText canvas item, that's what needs to be used here with a timeout, no need to create any new windows or tooltips that are so unreliable and clumsy.
