Here is a recipe to reproduce the bug:

(require 'ehelp)
(define-key global-map "\C-h" 'ehelp-command)

C-h v default-directory RET

clicking on stringp gives the following error message:
Error: Current buffer is not in Help mode


After hitting r, normal help mode is entered and the help mode bindings
(including following links) are active.

TAB is not working either in the ehelp mode.


Perhaps ehelp mode features should be merged into help mode?!
