[ESS-bugs] Help focus does not honor focus-follows-mouse/mouse-autoselect-window

Here's a bug I just noticed in 13.05-1 [rev. 5712 (2013-08-11)]

If you have focus-follows-mouse and mouse-autoselect-window set to t,
then ask for help in an *R* buffer, i.e.
 > ?setwd

The help buffer steals focus permanently instead of surrendering it
to mouse movement; you need to physically click in the *R*
buffer to restore the focus following the mouse.  C-c C-d C-d
behaves similarly.  Is there some way that we can respect
the user's settings of focus-follows-mouse/mouse-autoselect-window
in this common help/*R* buffer arrangement?
