I never do that but if it recompiles before making the autoloads,
wouldn't that fail?  `help-buffer' is in help-mode.el but was not
autoloaded before, probably because only `with-output-to-temp-buffer'
needed it (I fail to understand how that worked).  I'm reluctant to put
any requires in help.el (it used to require `view-mode' once) to avoid
recursing.  If you have any suggestions ...

Does that mean you still see it with `describe-char' or `describe-face'?
Or did you recompile them too?
