Note: IE9, Chrome 14, Opera 11.51 works correctly.
This bug also confirmed on Windows XP.

This bug is not only present in HTML but in whole FF UI (back button, Tab titles, etc.).

Pressing space moves the document one page down for me. The "Quicksearch help" title tooltip does appear for me. This is on Win XP. Can you check if you are using HW acceleration (about:support -> Graphics) ?
Do tooltip work fine for you before pressing the key?

I didn't knew that space was scrolling when I tested page must have been at the bottom (there is "Quicksearch help" at the bottom too). 
You can try any key, event Ctrl, Alt or Shift.

This bug is present on Firefox 3.5 Win XP, so HW acceleration can not be the cause.

The problem may hide in repeated keydown event firing while any key is down.

Yep, they work fine while there are no keys down.
Note: you have to press and HOLD key while trying to repeat this bug.

Ah, HOLDing the key is key :) And you filed it under FF7 with no mention of 3.5.
Ok, I can now reproduce this. The tooltip flashes only sometimes, usually it does not appear at all.

This may be caused by bug 494139, it can even be a dupe of it.
