That leads to an inverse question: why does the ?foo work some of the
time in emacs 23?  Is the offending call only made in some
circumstances?

Even if there were an answer like "only if other buffers are open", my
experience is that doing the exact same steps (launch emacs, start R,
ask for help) failed sometimes and worked others.
