>> The reason seems to be in the implementation of `help-form-show' using
>> `princ' which strips properties.  If this is intentional, it doesn't
>> match definitions of `help-form' in Emacs tree.  Take for example
>> dired-aux.el which pushes the string for `help-form' also through
>> `substitute-command-keys'[1,2,3].
> Stefan, any comments or reasons why we use princ there?
