I agree. There are 13 other places in the Emacs sources that call
(char-to-string help-char). It's only the fact that several are
preloaded, so that customizing help-char has no effect, that prevents
more things from breaking. Eg try loading buff-menu wih the OP's
setting, or reloading help.el. If a help-char setting doesn't work in
help.el, I think it's safe to say it doesn't work.
