I'm unable to reproduce this bug.  And the anchor looks like it's in the
right place when I look at the source code:

@item help-echo
@kindex help-echo @r{(text property)}
@cindex tooltip for help strings
@anchor{Text help-echo}
If text has a string as its @code{help-echo} property, then when you
move the mouse onto that text, Emacs displays that string in the echo
area, or in the tooltip window (@pxref{Tooltips}).


Perhaps something wrong with whatever formatted your info pages?
