Help strings are considered documentation, so you need to escape special 
characters in help-echo property strings the same way you'd escape them 
in doc strings. Something like this:

(let* ((str1 "\nhello")
        (echo-str1 "left single quote (`) right single quote (') grave 
accent (\\=`) apostrophe (\\=') kill-region (\\[kill-region])")
        ov)
   (let* ((b (+ 1 (point)))
          (e (+ b (string-width str1))))
     (insert str1)
     (setq ov (make-overlay b e)))
   (overlay-put ov 'help-echo echo-str1))
