Please make a bug report. Thanks for the report. I don't think this ("help for minor mode") has ever worked for "Server". The thing that server.el adds to minor-mode-alist is not a real minor mode. minor-mode-menu-from-indicator tries to call (describe-function 'server-buffer-clients), which fails. But in 24.4 it fails in a new way. I think there are 2 (or maybe 3) bugs here: 1) A problem with describe-function, new in 24.4: (describe-function 'not-defined) 24.3: -> Symbol's function definition is void: not-defined # fine 24.4: -> not-defined is an alias for `not-defined', which is not defined. Please make a bug report. 2) server.el adding something that is not a minor-mode to minor-mode-alist. 3) minor-mode-menu-from-indicator lack of error trapping for when describe-function fails. 1) definitely needs to be fixed.
