Disabled HTML elements do not fire mouse events, so the Tooltip can't find out when the user hovers a disabled button. So the observed behavior is expected.
Theoretically, you can wrap the disabled button in some other element and use the Tooltip for this other element. However, there must be some space between the wrapper boundaries and the button, otherwise the tooltip will not show again.
