That's because you set woman-show-log too late: it should be set
_before_ woman.elc is loaded.  Alternatively, use the Customize
feature to customize the value of the variable, and have Customize
write the correct code into your .emacs.

What for?  Why would another buffer make a difference?

I don't see such a variable in my Emacs.  Where did you hear about it?

In any case, its name suggests that it removes the help _window_, not
the *Help* buffer.

I also don't see any sense in killing the *Help* buffer, because it
will be reused (and recreated, if needed) by the next help command.
It is also handy to go to that buffer if you forgot some detail.
