It is after you load edmacro.el. This is as expected. Standard
workaround, if it matters:
  
  *** `C-h f' (`describe-function') can now perform autoloading.
  When this command is called for an autoloaded function whose docstring
  contains a key substitution construct, that function's library is
  automatically loaded, so that the documentation can be shown
  correctly.  To disable this, set `help-enable-auto-load' to nil.

Don't know offhand if it works for stuff in C.
