Yes.  I could create an additional `view-return-to-alist' element like
'delete-window-but-not-frame and not iconify/kill the frame in that
case.  Alternatively, I could, in `view-mode-exit' do

             ((not (eq old-buf-info t)) nil)    ; Not case 2, do nothing.
             ((not (one-window-p t)) (delete-window))
             ((not pop-up-frames) (bury-buffer)) ; <--- BURY BUFFER HERE
             ((not (eq frame (next-frame)))
              ;; Not the only frame, so can safely be removed.

but this would obviously fail for users with `pop-up-frames' non-nil.

Unfortunately, fiddling around with C-x 0 and C-x 1 will likely create
other cases that cannot be handled easily.  C-x 2 on a help window is
another point of concern.  Finally, I have little experience with
cloned Help buffers.

I cannot reproduce this, my Emacs has "q" display *scratch* instead.
This is set up in help-mode's

(defun help-mode ()
  ...
  (setq view-exit-action
        (lambda (buffer)
          (with-current-buffer buffer
            ;; Use `with-current-buffer' to assert that `bury-buffer'
            ;; removes buffer from the selected window.  Leave it to
            ;; `view-mode-exit' to delete the associated window(s).
            (bury-buffer))))
  (run-mode-hooks 'help-mode-hook))

Can you investigate why this fails for you?
