This is a bug that happens when trying to navigate between two *Help*
buffers.

==Reproduction instructions==

emacs -Q

Evaluate this code:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c l") (lambda () (interactive) (insert "This
messes up the help buffer somehow.")))

Then open up a help buffer for that function:

C-h k C-c l

And a help buffer for something else:

C-h k a

Then, in the help buffer, go to the bottom, and try to select the
"[back]" link. I get an error: "user-error: You didn’t specify a function
symbol". If I try again, I get a different error: "apply: Symbol’s
function definition is void: nil". These errors happen whether I've
select the link with pressing Enter on the keyboard or by clicking the
mouse.

==End of instructions==
