The man page for 4.3beta2 ( 4.2.3) states:

     --tooltips=[always,never,main]
          Determines  which  pages  use  tooltips  to  show   the
          description  of the host (from the COMMENT entry in the
          bb-hosts(5) file). If set to always, tooltips are  used
          on all pages. If set to never, tooltips are never used.
          If set to main, tooltips are used on  the  main  pages,
          but not on the BB2 (all non-green) or NK (critical sys-
          tems) pages.

Missing in this text is the default setting which corresponds to 
--tooltips=main. This is the setting we use.

Ie tried --tooltips=never and now see the COMMENT value after the 
hostname which is the correct behaviour (see bb-hosts(5)). The DESCR 
values only show up in the info column.
