My crystal ball tells me this might represent more collateral damage
from bug #17109.  I say this because I've seen similar breakage
elsewhere, the problem being that existing code expected a buffer
to be in `help-mode' after `with-output-to-temp-buffer'.

HTH.  If not, ignore.

I cannot reproduce this.
Can you give a complete recipe starting from `emacs -Q'?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a few
months, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please reopen this bug report.
