  emacs -Q

  C-h f dired-byte-compile <RET> => [No match]

  M-x load-library <RET> dired <RET>
  C-h f dired-byte <TAB> => dired-do-byte-compile
  <RET>   => description for `dired-do-byte-compile', as expected.

  M-x load-library <RET> dired-aux <RET>
  C-h f dired-byte <TAB>  => dired-byte-compile
  <RET>  => description for `dired-byte-compile', as expected.

The difference being that `dired-do-byte-compile' is autoloaded, and
`dired-byte-compile' is not.

Which behavior were you expecting?
