From what I see, you clicked the mouse button on the tab close button, right?

Then I can reproduce the same problem, and it seems the bug is in
Help mode that can't handle lambda as a function, it supports only
function symbols.  A complete backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument symbolp (lambda nil (interactive) (tab-bar-close-tab 1)))
  help-fns--globalized-minor-mode((lambda nil (interactive) (tab-bar-close-tab 1)))
  run-hook-with-args(help-fns--globalized-minor-mode (lambda nil (interactive) (tab-bar-close-tab 1)))
  describe-function-1((lambda nil (interactive) (tab-bar-close-tab 1)))
  describe-key((([(tab-bar) C-current-tab] . [(tab-bar) C-current-tab])))
  funcall-interactively(describe-key (([(tab-bar) C-current-tab] . [(tab-bar) C-current-tab])))
  call-interactively(describe-key nil nil)
  command-execute(describe-key)
