I have grepped all the packages I am using and except gnus-art.el only
smartparents do in a functionality that I have never used.

I clean started gnus and invoked describe-bindings, and indeed it was
not causing this problem. But when invoked through helm-descbinds-mode
it did.

Here is how to reproduce:

   Enter gnus article and press C-h b (helm-descbinds), then C-g to
   exit, the let-binding warning appears and help-xref-following is not
   bound.

After updating gnus everything is fine.

Thanks, 
    Vitalie
