Then please make it DTRT for all window configs, including a separate *Help*
frame.  

That's the bug reported.  If you don't want to simplify things (for both
maintenance and users), then please jump through whatever clever hoops you like,
so that something reasonable (for all configs) results.

And while you're at it, maybe you would like to change all of the other
description lists throughout the Emacs doc, to fit the same pattern...
