The tooltip isn't set because there's no code to set it probably because 
of the way the older (<2.12) tooltips were done. You could file a 
feature bug report against GTK to add syncing tooltips for buttons.

For buttons specifying a label seems mutually exclusive with specifying 
a stock id.

The docs state that various properties are synced but not that all or 
conflicting or unused properties are synced though it would be useful if 
there was more detail about how these were applied for the various proxy 
objects.
