I think you are right. Beside what Drew have I have a patch for this 
(which is part of my patches in the patched version of Emacs+EmacsW32).

However I have began to rethink how such help could be implemented. 
There are other rather similar cases. In tabkey2.el (see EmacsWiki) I 
also needed to implement some specific help. This is what I did there:

- When the user hits the help key (f1/C-h) a message saying:

   "Type a char for Emacs help. Or, wait for Tab completion help"

- If the response is k or c then specific keybindings valid during tab 
completion is shown.

This way the user can have access to both a specific help and the usual 
Emacs help.
