Maybe a Windows 7 issue.

> 1. emacs -Q
> 2. Evaluate the code shown below (after recipe #5).
> 3. C-h v pop-up-frames RET
>     That correctly creates the *Help* frame.  And because
>     MS Windows alwayse focuses a new frame, it has the focus.
>     OK so far.
> 4. Select the original frame (e.g. with the mouse), so that
>     it, not *Help*, now has the focus.
> 5. C-h v help-window-select RET
>     The *Help* window & frame are not selected/focused.
>     They should be.
>
> The code to evaluate at step #2 above:
> (setq pop-up-frames  t)
> (setq help-window-select  t)
> (setq w32-grab-focus-on-raise  nil)
> (add-to-list 'special-display-buffer-names
> 	      '("*Help*" foo ((background-color . "Thistle"))))
> (defun foo (buf &optional args)
>    (let (win)
>      (setq win  (funcall special-display-function buf args))
>      (raise-frame)
>      win))

Unreproducible here.  After 5 the *Help* frame has focus again.
Sorry.
