None of those.  The bug is in R.app, a separate project (with a 
separate group of maintainers).  'htmlhelp' was deprecated in 2.10.0, 
so it seems no one reported this for well over a year.

In R.app, look at the data.manager() function, and fix() it to use 
help_type="HTML".

Hopefully the R.app maintainers will fix the sources ....
