If it can't be done, then it can't be done. Can't argue with that.

But it doesn't seem right for the only echo-area display of tooltip help to
truncate it at the frame width. Joining the lines is not a problem, but losing
some of the info could be.

Make such truncation an option, if you want, and even make it the default way of
displaying a tooltip in the echo area, if you want. But there should be some way
for users to see the complete tooltip text in the echo area.
